Jeff,
I do apologize for the tone of my original post; it was not
my intention to flame. The video was taken at an airport in the middle of
no-where, surrounded by open farm lands. Our activities were coordinated with
the airport manager, tower personnel and local parachute jump school prior to
the flight. I’m sorry you don’t really understand the rules that
apply and cited the wrong FAR in the situation in the video. “Touch and Go
Stop and Go, Low Approach (Practice Low Approach)” and “cleared for
the option” are absolutely legal and as in this case authorized. See Section
4-8-12. BTW there was no flying over any houses. I’m sure as a Designated
Examiner you use these authorized approaches all the time for training purposes.
