I wouldnt dream off having a go at a student. Weve had them come through in the past but when you explain to them the problem they go away having learned something. Hey weve all been there. If a student reads this and realises its them im not going to bollock them.
But there are some experienced pilots out there who should know better. Especialy the one who thought it was ok to fly at 50ft up our runway while parachuting was going on. He had an interview without coffee with a nice chap from the CAA.
If you want to take anything away from this threat. Please if you intend to fly in the vacinity of a DZ or gliding site etc please give us a call. I dont mind people flying by and talking to us that way at least i know what your doing and your intensions so i dont have to worry if your going to turn and fly straight through the overhead. If your in the area were on 129.90 Errol DZ.
Stay safe
