The flights are planned to take place across Estonia from 31 August to 6 September, between 10:00 and 22:00. Low-altitude flights will be carried out no lower than 152 metres, or 500 feet. Aircraft may pass near settlements or individual farms, but populated areas will be avoided where possible. Supersonic flight creates a shock wave and a sonic boom, which may sound similar to artillery fire or an explosion.
All flight exercises are carried out in accordance with Estonian law and organised in agreement with the Transport Administration and Estonian Air Navigation Services.

All training flights and their elements are necessary to ensure that NATO aircraft are ready to respond to air threats
