For those who operate at aerodromes with mixed power and sailplane operations, there are important lessons in this tragic accident. FR (original) version - bea.aero/fileadmin/us..., EN version bea.aero/fileadmin/us...

With the flying season well under way, a reminder about how to best "see and avoid", particularly in Class G airspace, may be useful. members.gliding.co.uk/safety/manag...

A very worthwhile reminder of avoidance etiquette: www.facebook.com/SebastianKaw...

A handy reference at this time of year. members.gliding.co.uk/2025/04/15/h...

As the soaring season gets underway, a reminder to think about things you might have forgotten. A "Season Opener" session from a few years ago - still entirely valid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_3O...

Although it's a UK focus, the lessons should be relevant to all winch launching sites. www.airproxboard.org.uk/media/dcwami...

Just because you meet the legal requirements of recency, you may not be very current. It's worth thinking about before you fly after a long pause and maybe an opportunity to have those 2 flights with an instructor before launching off on your own! tinyurl.com/bdfbrp8s, tinyurl.com/2s4yp23k

We are all human and, as such, we have our limitations. As we prepare to enter the new season, some reading and training may save us from an incident or accident. This advice from the BGA may be a helpful refresher. members.gliding.co.uk/wp-content/u...

As the new season gets closer, it would be really interesting to know what you or your club do to make sure everyone is ready to operate safely. Perhaps most importantly, how do people regain currency after maybe 4 or 5 months without flying?

Very much "work in progress", this page on the EGU website is just the beginnings of collecting together as many safety resources as we can find. glidingunion.eu/safety/

Always worth a reminder. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Pc... Have a safe and happy New Year!

Some good information concerning aerotows in this new video - not convinced about the voice-over but nice to see safety information from Austria. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fbz...

Guidance on how to be safe on aerotow is always worth a reminder. members.gliding.co.uk/safety/safe-...

First bluey - do your gliding club safety officers do these sort of things? If not, should they? members.gliding.co.uk/wp-content/u...
