Before
After
➤➤ AIRSPACE ADVISORY // PARHAM GLIDER SITE (W SUSSEX) ➤➤ A localized flight safety advisory is active for this sector due to high-density unpowered glider operations, thermal soaring, and winch-launching activity. ➤ REGIONAL PROFILE -- Active unpowered flight facility utilized by the Southdown Gliding Club. The base ground elevation sits at 110ft AMSL. ➤ VERTICAL MATRIX -- The primary operational risk envelope spans from the Surface up to 2000ft AGL (Above Ground Level), overlapping common drone flight paths. ➤ OPERATIONAL TIMING -- Active flight windows generally align with daylight hours (HJ). Because gliders operate silently and without engine noise, early acoustic detection is not possible. ➤ COMMUNICATIONS & CONTACT -- Local aviation radio traffic utilizes frequency 124.965 MHz. Operators seeking to coordinate or verify active launch statuses can contact the site desk at 01903-746706. ➤ PILOT SAFETY DIRECTIVES -- Remote drone operators must maintain a continuous, uninterrupted visual line of sight (VLOS). Actively scan the upper skyward horizon for rapidly descending or soaring aircraft and yield absolute right-of-way immediately and unconditionally to all gliders and tow planes.
