UNTAMED. EVEN AT 30,000 FEET. THE BERLIN BEAR.
but for the real scoop. Airlink responds to concern planes got ‘too close’ to CT Stadium
Airlink has made a post on social media after a low-altitude flyover saw two planes pass ‘dangerously’ close to Cape Town Stadium.
“The flight demanded careful planning and rehearsal, as it required navigating at low altitude, at around 150 knots. The South African Civil Aviation Authority and Air Traffic Navigation Services provided valuable guidance, approval and support to ensure a safe flyby.
“The two aircraft were flown by highly-experienced crew, with each comprised of three senior captains operating in the roles of commander, co-pilot and safety/technical officer.
“The flight data recorded by both aircraft confirms that the flights were performed within the SACAA’s approved and rehearsed safety altitude and speed limits for the flypast.”
