The Mach Loop is one of the UK's three Tactical Training Areas (TTA), mapped out for operational low flying training by fast jets and Hercules transport aircraft of the Royal Air Force and other allied nations.

Following a circular route through the Welsh valleys, the route provides an ideal location to train in the art of low flying – an essential skill that is practiced by fixed-wing aircraft between 100ft and 250ft.
