Having spent a couple of years driving a 4X4 with almost a kilometer of steel cable attached from the winch to the launch point I never fly my spam can anywhere near a glider site….
On my skills test I was asked to plan a route that, funnily enough, went straight over the top of an active parachute-dropping site. I told my examiner that I’d call them up and unless I got active confirmation that they were not dropping I’d do a diversion around. I think I heard the sound of a tick being made in my examiners head. Perhaps your instructor is giving a little hint?
