Site rules reminder
No CP with less than 10 hrs flying time may slope land on any SHGC site. Bottom land and walk or, in more normal times, hitch a lift back up.
Rules Of The Air
1 - Avoid a collision at all costs.
It is your responsibility to avoid collision. Accusation and counter accusation about how two or more aircraft collided ignores the basic rule that each of us must take action to avoid collision. If the air is too crowded do not take off. If an aircraft is being flown erratically, give it a wide berth and talk to the pilot on the ground later.
2 - Gliders converging. The glider on the right has priority.
3 - Overtaking. Overtaking aircraft keeps clear.
4 - Landing. A lower aircraft has right of way if they are landing..
5 - Thermalling. Circle only to the right below 1000ft ATO on all SHGC sites.
6 - Gliders approaching head-on. Break right to avoid collision.
How to protect our sites:
Always park your car in an agreed area.
Don’t park on grass verges or in such a way as to cause an obstruction to other users.
Shut and lock the caburn gate as soon as you've been through.
Pick up all litter, whoever dropped it.
Keep quiet, unless notifying a pilot of an emergency situation.
Use only recognised gates and paths. Don’t climb over gates, do not take a short cut over any fences.
