June UKAB INSIGHT newsletter now available

The June edition of AIRPROX INSIGHT is based around an Airprox between a glider and a PA28 over Long Mynd Glider Site. The article highlights the risks involved with direct overflight of a glider site – not just the likelihood of encountering gliders but also the potential hazard presented by the winch cable (or, in this case, cables). It offers some advice to pilots planning to fly in the vicinity of glider sites, including actions that can be taken at the pre-flight planning stage as well as in-flight.
