CHAPTER 2 AVIATION TASKS AND RELATED MATERIAL Section I. TACTICAL LOW-LEVEL OPERATIONS 2—1. Definitions a. Low-Level Flight Operations. Low-level flight operation is the operation of Army aircraft at opti- mum altitudes which afford cover and concealment from ground visual and electronic detection in order to exploit surprise to the fullest. Low-level flight operations encompass low-level flight, contour flight, and nap-of-the-earth flight. b. Low-Level Flight. Flight conducted at a se- lected altitude at which detection or observation of an aircraft or of the points from which and to which it is flying is avoided or minimized. The route is preselected and conforms generally to a straight line and a constant airspeed and indicated altitude. This method is best adapted to flights conducted over extended distances or periods of time. c. Contour Flight.
