Low flying military training

[Note 1] NATO tactical ultra-low-level flight training in Canada is located at CFB Goose Bay in Labrador.

In response to lessons learned from the Vietnam War and the growing sophistication of Soviet anti-aircraft radar and surface-to-air missile technology being deployed in Europe, NATO allies began looking at new doctrines in the 1970s–1980s which mandated low-level flight to evade detection.

[3] Low flying is permitted across the majority of the UK except for large urban areas, civil airports and some industrial and medical sites.

For safety and to minimise disturbance to the public, military aircrew training at low level is constrained by rules.

A specialist military police unit conducts covert monitoring using Skyguard FC radar and investigates alleged infringements.
