In the very long thread "Flying out of CAS IMC now dangerous?" which was started by myself a lot was made that the chances of collision with gliders in or out of IMC was negligable.
It was stated by a number of the gliding fraternity that a VMC glider collision would be between gliders only and NOT powered aircraft.
Ironically during the course of my thread a collision has occurred between a powered aircraft and a glider with tragic loss of life.
In my case the near collision was at between 5000 and 6000 feet in IMC. So where do we go from here?
There appears to be a reluctance to do anything and nothing but excuses by the gliding fraternity clinging onto unwarranted excemptions that gliders enjoy to what the rest of us have to comply with.
Sadly we have loss of life in a VMC collision I really hope we are not in these forums in the future discussing a collision with a glider and CAT with a large loss of life as then all our freedoms will go faster than a blink.
No one will care whether this or that is capable of being fitted in a glider as there will then be NO choice for any of us.
