NEVER SEEN BEFORE YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED F-35 PURE SKILL & AIRMANSHIP • RAF LAKENHEATH

When you hear a pilot requesting a 'Low Approach' at RAF Lakenheath, it is always exciting. This F-35A Lightning of the 48th Fighter Wing went beyond and you will not believe what happened. In fact we had to watch it over and over again and on analysis, this really showed off the skill of these fantastic fighter pilots.

What is a Low Approach?
It is a when an aircraft will approach the runway at a low altitude (minimum altitude specified by ATC) and will pass low and go around. It is sometimes referred to as a low pass, and is essentially a go-around manoeuvre following an approach. Instead of touching down, a pilot may wish to go-around without touching down in order to expedite a particular operation.

Why do fighter jets carry out a Low Approach?
Well, practice can make perfect but can also burn fuel too. But, this manoeuvre can be useful in combat or if there is an issue with the runway. In combat, many aircraft will operate at altitudes as low as 100 feet and at high airspeeds to defeat ground missile radars and avoid sophisticated surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft artillery, and enemy fighters. On a more day to day scenario, there could be a last minute emergency on the runway. It could also be used a reconnaissance too.
