Beyond the common sense of flying around big birds, here are a few tips on flying with raptors: I would like to offer a tip to all of you. There was an accident last autumn in Spain where DuoDiscus was flying close to a griffon vulture. It collided with a tip of the elevator, instantly ripping the whole elevator and half of the vertical tail surfaces off. Both pilots jumped, but as they where flying over hill top the altitude was too low for opening parachutes. So, my tip is: keep some distance, bird collision can kill you. Go to zoo if you want to spot birds close by. |
