Two Airlink Embraer 190s perform dangerously low flyover at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium

Did any actual person in the stadium complain?

Sit down Karen. Nobody asked you if you were scared when you didn't even watch the game

Dude, if you're gonna overfly residential homes at low altitude, did those residents get asked if that was ok? Sure as heck I would have said no. Are you a white night for a Airlink now?

The idea that you need to ask permission from everyone in the flight path or in the stadium and if you don't get 100% approval then you can't do it is retarded.

This is not how anything works. You get no say in the matter. We are not changing a long standing tradition to accommodate some irrelevant Karen.

Did you just wake up and discover this thread? I have been posting on every page in this thread, about altitude, ADSB, FlightRadar24, etc.

The key point is that barometric altitude is only guaranteed accurate to +/- 50 feet, and that radar altimeters cannot be used over cluttered built up areas. Whatever altitude Airlink say they were flying at is only an approximation, and cannot be considered safe given the margins. The fact that one aircraft flew through a pyrotechnic smoke plume, indicates a lack of planning, judgement, or worse.

You are arguing against reality, open your eyes.

It was perfectly safe. The aircraft approached in a controlled manner, comfortably cleared the stadium roof as planned and practiced. Nobody got hurt, nobody died. At no moment did it look like the plane lost control or miss calculated it's flight path and had to adjust.

To make it unsafe you need to insert retarded hypothetical situations. Like what if they experience a bird strike and had multiple engine failures. And if that is your standard for when we are allowed to do things then you cannot have airplanes at all for leisure travel, never mind more dangerous things like cars.

Bly net by die huis oom. Moenie oor ons worry nie.

And the worst internet expert @Gordon_R just likes this post as if it doesn't apply to him. Lol.

A lot more level headed than you. You have a couple of screws loose and lots of p(l)ot holes. Either way I appreciate both perspectives.

@Gordon_R will do well in a country that is highly regulated such as Canada, New Zealand or Australia etc.
