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

[Flanders]

Recovery time isn't just about altitude, it's about the aircraft's energy state and control response.

Which, lets be honest, at 150 knots in level flight with flaps hanging out... is mud (as nimble as it may be for an airliner).

Wait you think if 50 million people die tomorrow the world ends?

Nope. I'm saying no one knows what would happen.

I just flew on an Airlink Embraer and the flight was absolutely perfect as they ALWAYS are. How will I go on social media to be an armchair pilot and complain!?! oh the horror!!

Complain? It's very much a safety discussion than a complaint.

It was planned according to Schalk Burger who saw the flight plan which he mentions here.

We do know the world won't end though. This isn't rocket science

A safety discussion? More like a bitching session

I think some people need a hug. they seem very stressed out over an awesome maneuver that was planned and executed properly...

Some people have sad lives so anything fun touches them on their studios

It is never safety, the first time. That's how you get the safety protocol.
