and the he goes below it AGAIN at 4:53... and in all cases the "altitude altitude" call occurs... ??????????????????

[aflack]

@elmo1059 The clearance guarantees that Air Traffic Control will keep all traffic out of that block of airspace. Anything outside that area ATC cannot guarantee to keep traffic out of the area and the pilot has the responsibility to maintain visual seperation from any traffic. This took place in Warning Area 147 D in the gulf coast about 30 miles off shore.

@elmo1059 Warning area – 14 CFR 1.1

A warning area is airspace of defined dimensions, extending from 3 nautical miles outward from the coast of the United States, that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. The purpose of such warning areas is to warn nonparticipating pilots of the potential danger. A warning area may be located over domestic or international waters or both.

@elmo1059 This Bitching Betty Altitude call was something the pilot programed into the computer to warn him when he descends below that altitude to he can maintain visual seperation.

lol about the altitude thing....noticed it too. Block altitudes in a warning area can be confusing. Nice explanation of FAR 1.1 He was legal. I'm a flight instructor and also live and fly in the middle of an MOA in western IL. It's all a blast and I miss the F-16 unit I served with back in the 90's. Awsome video!!!! Miss that sound!!!! I'm a civilian pilot but would've loved to have flown one of those

[Zoddom]

3:00 Hwo do those 4,9 G feel? I guess youre breathing that heavily because of that high g load?

[demetcanbey]

[CalvinDyals]

how the hell did u get to have control of a F16 falcon... i would love any info u can give me on this as it is also a dream of mine to fly in one of these or a F/A 18 hornet

@elmo1059 The pilot inputs minimum and maximum altitudes into the flight computer. When the aircraft falls below the minimum or above the max altitude the computer send out the 'alarm' to get the pilots attention so he/she may correct their altitude. If you watch the HUD early on in the flight in the bottom center after recieving cleared altitudes from ATC you can see the information inputed into the computer from the pilot.
