There are 20 low flying areas in the UK, numbered 1-20 and The Mach Loop, in North Wales is a Low Flying Area 7 (LFA7). Operational low flying is an essential skill and is practised by fixed wing aircraft between 100 feet and 250 feet; a more representative altitude at which pilots would fly in a combat scenario. The final decision to use a TTA is taken on the day itself as this kind of training can only take place when weather conditions allow.

When a TTA is active, routine low flying by other military users can take place between 500 feet and 2000 feet. When the TTA is not in use standard low flying training is permitted down to 250 feet and helicopters down to ground level. Late spring and summer are the busiest times for low flying as squadrons make full use of good weather to carry out their training.

The popular places at the Mach Loop are known as Cad West, where the car park is, and Cad East, which is where we were situated. Cad West has a car park and has a convenient footpath to take you up to the western side. However, when you park here, in front of you is Cad East. There are two ways to get up to the top; first, you can safely cross the road and making your own way up to the top. On the other hand, the second option, is to drive up using a road near a farm. It will involve opening and closing gates to keep the farmers sheep in, and carefully parking your car.
