Here's a question for the Glider pilots out there....
Do you fly in the clouds? Reason I ask is that on a recent trip, while receiving RIS, I was popping in and out of IMC at my altitude (layer of fair weather cumulus at about FL50), and the controller informed me of "multiple targets, no height information, probably gliders". This was ok, but as I was in and out of the clag it did concern me a bit. As it happened there was a break in the clouds, and I managed to look down and see gliders well below me, presumably below the cumulus I was flying through.
(Must try gliding sometime, a few of my mates do it and reckon its brilliant fun)
Cheers and merry christmas....
