T'other day I went orf to do a solo navex, departing the overhead from Kemble I decided to dog-leg round Aston Down, noted for it's heaving gliding activity, whilst keeping a SHARP lookout.
Having left Aston Down astern, I was in the clear thought I, oh no, a glider appeared off to my left (having flown overhead me I presume) and then promptly elected to turn right in front of me !
I hung a right, banged the power in and executed a climbing turn to the right, pretty pronto!! Now I know we're supposed to give way to gliders, but c'mon guys, if I had been looking the other way for just a split second, I reckon I would have had a good chance of 'buying the farm'.
Surely avoidance is a 2-way street !
