Mike's comment is correct and remains so. GFA Operational Regulations - Section 9.22 states:-
"A sailplane shall not be flown so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard. GFA requires that a separation from other sailplanes, and tug aircraft towing sailplanes, of at least 200 feet vertically and horizontally be maintained." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Creswick Sent: Saturday, 11 June 2005 11:46 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

Still seems like a good guide to me. Interesting. I never heard of a "formal" separation standard in gliding, GFA or otherwise. With the coming of ADSB, separations in gaggles could be measured and logged. Opens the potential for some interesting penalty and disqualification rules in contests, and in general flying, a points system like for drivers, so many offenses at points X = grounded ! -- Peter Creswick E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Land Line 02 9718 4841 Mobile/SMS 0401 758 025 _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
