“I simply hoped to make contact with the Jodel driver (who had two glider pilot pax on board) to give a fuller explanation of my suggestion that landing was inadvisable due to cross-wind at about 90 degrees and severe turbulence at low level.”

So let me see if I understand. A Jodel landed safely in challenging conditions. You had a go at the pilot as in your opinion (PPL / ATPL / Sky God?) he should not have landed in those conditions. The Jodel departed without incident. You now want to contact the pilot to have another go?

Did you get the registration, or were you just too cross?

There are many strips in the UK which can be very challenging; do we know the level of experience of the jodel pilot? Have you ever flown a Jodel?
