As is generally acepted, a breach of Controlled Airspace is a serious issue and
must be treated accordingly. It is my considered view that there is no
plausible excuse for Violations of Controlled Airspace (nothing is acceptable)
under any circumstances - if you are lost, unsure of your position
An issue not mentioned in the advice provided by Paul, and which is more
likely to creat problems for glider pilots is where Farmers have "certified"
paddocks and/or crops(disease / weed free etc) which brings about issues

As both a glider pilot and a power pilot, (in
respect of the new procedures) it seems to me that some glider pilots are
getting concerned about nothing.
Most of the new procedures are RECOMMENDATIONS,
