Also what is important is to know that a plane on a CV deck will show a dot in the dar circle and that you will have to amazing at juking around trees to stay below dot dar height on land.

Also bear in mind if the radar is porked, staying below 250 has the same effect as staying below 65 once you're inside the radar circle.  The base still flashes, and shows no bardar.

NOE flying isn't hard, people just can't sit there on autopilot and avoid radar as easily anymore.   :bolt:

I disagree.  Staying below 65 over land on most terrains is difficult.  You've pretty much got to go beside the treetops.

Not to put words in others keyboards,BUT NOE is fairly common referring to DAR BAR/250 and less. People just dont do it anymore. In my opinion its because of mis information. I hear some weird crap these days being put forth as GOSPEL. Lord help you,if you havent been here as long as so-n-so who started that story, cause you wont be heard. Its funny actually. AH urban legends could make a great Novel in Mystery section :rofl

Ah, if that's the case then I agree.  Sub-250 is pretty easy in most cases.

I'm talking below 65.  It takes SA, a light touch and planning your route through the terrain, but it's not difficult.   I've ambushed plenty of people doing it, especially from mountains where you can get a lot of smash diving and also hide your red icon.  :old:

I love NOE that is why I asked. I thought it was 50 feet for dotdar. BUt HTC has changed it from time to time... So I wanted to be sure.

Want fun take Lancs 2 sectors at treetop level.
