As you will know from my post I bottled,and it is a historic fact there
was a
mid air in cloud in a worlds back in the 60's I think David Innes was one
it
was re written in sailplane and gliding about 10 years ago .As I said
enterprise is some what different so there is less chance you will be
gaggle
flying .
Some one will explain I am sure but you need to announce you intentions
and position on the comp frequency and change to cloud frequency and re
transmit and if you have more courage than me wait till they call clear
then
off you go.
Plonckers need not apply ,I consider anyone without a ATPL a ploncker.
