I was watching a video of a guy flying a really neat Cessna Citation at Top Gun.....pretty cool looking. His name was Ali or Al something. Really smooth pilot.

My question is, is it generally ok to fly low level circles or would this be sort of a "one time" show exception?. Reason I ask is I tipically try to fly a full scale like show pattern and it includes some low level hard turns.
I was practicing my "sequence" one day and my club Safety Officer (at the time) gave me crap about pointing the aircraft towards the flight line. Since I was doing a full circle, yes at one point the aircraft was pointing towards the pitts, but for just .025 seconds??.

Anyway I stopped doing that turn manouver so low from then on. But I always kept the feeling that the Safety Officer was just bullying me 'cuase there were other pilots standing next to me and they told me that they saw nothing wrong and they actually liked the manouver.

How do you guys view this?

Thanks,
David
