Gliding

There are a number of UK fields that share powered and winch gliding operations, these often result in powered having (for example) a RH circuit and Gliders having a LH circuit for the same strip, as the gliding circuit is usually tighter, that can result in a Glider 'beating' the powered a/c on the downwind, and causing conflicts on finals.
