Cannabis
Nowadays the SHGC has to have a zero tolerance attitude to flying in our heavily used airspace whilst under the influence of narcotic substances. <b>Consequently, anyone repeatedly doing so will be reported to the police. <b/>
I have received a report that cannabis has again been seen being smoked by certain pilot(s) on our sites prior to flying.
I am sure that all pilots are aware of the dangers and severe penalties of such actions and that therefore would not countenance such a foolhardy act. However, if you have indeed flown under the influence, I trust that you will not do so again, knowing the hazards…
