Sorry I meant a sniper pod (AN/AAQ-33 Sniper ATP but could be the Sniper XR or PANTERA export version)...nice to know someone is interested in what I post. I checked my images and distinctive "chisel nose" :-)tm74sqn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:08 pmThanks for the info.

Re: March 2020 Logs/Movements
Thanks for posting the sightings-much appreciated.
Quick note for Tarnished re. details for March 2nd.
'Low Key' refers to the notional area/turn point at the end of the down-wind leg of the circuit before turning to base leg. All done with reference to height minima.
The corresponding High Key is the notional area and pre-briefed entry level to begin the circuit when you are recovering towards the airfield. The circuit is arranged to keep the landing area in sight the whole time you are in the pattern and you can adjust your position relative to the landing area to account for wind drift or height loss and either open-out the circuit or cramp it in as required. A good circuit allows for enough adjustment at each turn point as appropriate. This method works as a general rule only with specific adjustment's briefed/adopted where local conditions demand.
Best regards,
Paul
