Cloud flying down under?
I say, chaps, a New Zealand pilot on the private flying forum has been shocked and surprised to learn that in the UK we are allowed to fly in cloud in uncontrolled airspace.
Certainly gliders in the UK are permitted to fly in uncontrolled airspace provided you wear a parachute, and have suitable instruments. These days Flarm is a good idea. We also have the custom of announcing on a gliding frequency that you are entering cloud, giving location, altitude, and intentions.
What are the rules down under? I thought NZ and Oz were glider friendly places? Or don't you have clouds?
