Airspace is usually 1k to 50k. Fight floors can be set by the flight lead based on training rules. Usually a 5k or 10k floor for BFM or ACM. Large force stuff and ACT (2 v 2, 2 v x, 4 v4, or greater) often fight to a 500 or 1000 foot floor.
Press is reporting airspace boundries--that is all....
That's what I figured. They made it sound like they were fighting down at 1K'. We usually run with a 5K hard deck, 10K soft.
SIG,
They could have been "fighting" down at 1K' - it just depends on your definition of "fighting". Most of the time with a full up fight (no RAG students), over water, it would be a 1K' hard deck and a 5K' soft deck. Over land it would be 500' vice 1K'. Unlimited maneuvering above 5K and limited below. Sounds like it was a full up 4v4 DACT war, so that make sense. He could have been "fighting" there at 1K' - making an ingress or egress or in his one 180 turn if he merged.
You guys are nuttier than us then. ACM training rules limit the hard deck to 5K or 5 above the lowest undercast. I can't imagine fighting 1K in a training enviroment. You go OCF and poof, you're done! Hell I have a hard enough time saving the deck at 5K. 1K and I may actually hit the ground/water.
