During my skills test a couple of weeks ago (which i passed
), i was routing near saltby gliding site under cottesmore RIS(excellent service) when the controller informed me that i was about 'infinge an active glider site' and vectored me about 6-7 miles from the site. at the point i was directly over the melton mowbray mast & my intended track was about 3nm from saltby.
My question is how wide are gliding sites? and how far away are we required to be away from them without 'infringing'?
I'm already used to gliders after a ew close calls and generally tend to stay away from glider sites.
