Greg-

But why the high airspeed and 100 feet? Seems that a pass at 100 knots and  
300 feet with, possibly the gear down and a touch of flaps, would allow  
for a longer display of noise to scare the critters off; allow for a more  
thorough check of the "hazards" and would make for less pilot workload  
(more thorough attention to the purpose for which one makes such a "runway  
check").

100 feet and 180 still sounds like shining one's a--, and you never know  
who is down there waiting for you to taxi in.
