Same same. Maxwell AFB regularly grants my request at or below 500 ft on the center
line with no configuration or speed requirements. Only once have I been restricted
to 500ft due to a C 130 being cleared to position and hold.

Making a HIGH SPEED PASS directly over the runway, is an approved
demonstration of those characteristics.

Administration controlled airport tells me "approved as requested" when I specifically
ask for a "low approach/pass", there is no requirement for me to exhibit
a certain speed, a certain landing configuration, or a certain altitude.

of landing..... That is called a "Fly-through". So the rules (that protect you
from prosecution because you are in approach an landing mode) do not apply to
this type of manoeuvre.......
