Rotary-wing aircraft can also be authorised to go lower than 100 feet from the ground. Low flying isn’t usually allowed in areas around airports, or towns and cities with populations of more than 10,000. Find out more about: safety concerns and low flying.

What height do military jets fly at?

Most US military aircraft can exceed 50,000 feet, if they really really try. Again, the limits are classified. Most commercial jetliners cruise somewhere between 30,000 and 45,000 feet above mean sea level.

Why are military planes so loud?

The exhaust from a fighter in afterburner is leaving the engine at supersonic speed and creating shock waves. Even in military power (maximum without afterburner) the low bypass ratio engines in fighters have very high velocity exhaust, often supersonic, so very loud.

Do jets fly higher than airplanes?

A private jet can fly at a height of up to 45 000 ft, though most cruise at 41 000 ft. This is generally higher than an airline flight and allows for a more direct route – out of the most congested area of the sky. A private jet pilot will choose the optimum cruising altitude depending on the distance of the journey.

Why are the airplanes flying so low?

Why do the aircraft fly so low? Aircraft have to fly low in order to properly line up with the runways and execute safe landings. Aircraft may, however, appear to be lower than they actually are because their large sizes make them look closer.

How low can helicopters legally fly?

In other words, if you live in a congested area, an aircraft is not allowed to fly any lower than 1,000 feet over the highest obstacle. If you live in a sparsely populated area, an aircraft is not allowed to fly any lower than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure including your house.

Is it loud inside a fighter jet?

The cockpit of a fighter aircraft will be very noisy and their mean levels range from 95 to 105 dB. This exceeds the damage risk criterion of 8h/day exposure. Hence, may result in hearing impairment to the pilot, especially during prolonged exposures.
