Flying in clouds is illegal in gliders without a clearance.

Flying in clouds is illegal in gliders in any sanctioned contest.



Statements about the legality or illegality of cloud flying in gliders
do require qualification. A blanket statement such as "...flying in
clouds is illegal in gliders...." is not true. There are circumstances
where it is legal.

Because there are people who believe that cloud flying in gliders can
never be legal, it is important to point out the truth. You may remember
a year or so ago this subject was done thoroughly here. Those with an
interest may wish to review the archives.
