Yeah, I imagine a great summer day with one nice cumulus cloud next to the airfield and several CFIs deciding to practice. Around here, there would also be the zillion of gliders jumping at that cumulus cloud and those guys are even allowed to fly inside the cloud
Achimah...
Since when has cloud flying in gliders been allowed in Germany?
It was banned in the 1930's following about 4 midair collisions in one cloud at the Gliding Olympics.
Forgive me of they have recently changed the rules.
