What Is The Mach Loop? The Mach Loop is one of the United Kingdom’s three Tactical Training Areas (TTA) of the country that are mapped out for routine operational low flying training by fast jets and Hercules transport aircraft of the Royal Air Force and other allied nations. Following a circular route through the Welsh valleys, the route provides an ideal location to train in the art of low flying – an essential skill that is practiced by fixed wing aircraft between 100 feet and 250 feet. This is an altitude at which a pilot might fly in a combat scenario.
