Now that Air Cadet gliding has started again at Little Rissington, some questions:
1. How many Viking gliders are based there?
2. Roughly how many launches per day are there?
3. Does Air Cadet gliding take place outside the promulgated gliding site (2nm / 2800' amsl)?
Since Mar 2017, there have been 2 x Viking vs. GA airproxes at Little Rissington; one was outside the gliding site and the other was held to be a Class E event, in which normal separation was maintained.
2FTS are seeking an ACP to establish an ATZ at Little Rissington, which would be active at weekends and on Public Holidays, other times by NOTAM. When the ATZ is not active nor is other NOTAM'd military activity taking place, would the site still be considered to be an active gliding site even though there was nobody there?
Can an ATZ really be justified?
