Oh, I forgot - there is a good argument that a low pass is not legal.

I know - there's many rationalizations, justifications and arguments. Not trying to pick a fight - just pointing out some issues with the practice of this maneuver.


Power pilots deliberately practice "missed approach" with no intention of landing on the first pass all the time.


How many touch-and-goes?

I don't see much difference between them in terms of an intention to land.
