Don't worry then BE Happy

It is a FACT that operating outside controlled airspace is less safe than operating within it.

The nearby gliding club which shares its name with the airport put a lot of gliders into the air this weekend, and although they were briefed about the increased activity near CVT, had no legal reason to avoid the airspace close to CVT. They are almost invisible to radar, carry no transponders. How much is the radar service given to airliners worth in this environment?
