Default Low level Ops

Here in Nowra we had some blackhawks doing low level ops over the CBD and housing areas. Does anyone know what's going on. I got some pictures but will post these later on.

When i say low level they came over my house at an alt of about 200 ft, I watched them conduct the ILS into Nowra then about 20 minutes later they were heading north over my house.

anyone have any answers?

cheers

Adam

There was a pres release not long ago stating that Blackhawks would be doing training over the Sydney CBD, i guess they are doing similar training over Nowra. Maybe new crew training in a less complicated environment?

Using Nowra's ILS to train pilots. Much quieter than larger airports and a different environment.
