Thanks for the replies, good stuff. It can be a very busy time whilst trying to land a light a/c at a busy gliding field based on my own experiences!
I wil talk to one of Tim's points >1. ERSA is a good way to discover if gliding ops are likely at a particular airfield. That is provided the airfield is listed in ERSA to that detail, not all gliding fields are (e.g. YBEV is listed as an ALA, no further info). The ERC-low (En route chart) shows the gliding and winch symbols (provided the correct information is provided to Airservices!). The WACs (world aeronautical charts) do not show where the gliding ops are, only the location of airfields (not all of them are serviceable either!). Not sure why this is, I assume because the ERC-low are updated every six months that the information should be more current than a WAC that is updated less often (?comments anyone?). Hopefully in pre-flight planning, the ERC-low is used to identify any gliding ops enroute. _______________________________________________ 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
