Per the FAA preliminary accident/incident reports, during practice there was a



minor mid-air (if there can be such a thing for the pilots involved!) between



a JS-1A and a Ventus-2c. Happened July 31; reported August 2.







Both gliders returned to Uvalde; damage to both listed as minor; no injuries.







I haven't come across any reports of this on any of the WGC sites I've looked



at. Can any RAS readers throw some light on the circumstances? PFlarms in use?



Thermalling? Etc...







Thanks if you can/do!

Bob,

There was a mention of this toward the bottom of the "Soaring Cafe" article by Ritz on Day 5 of the practice. It appeared on Aug 1 and can be found in the next to last paragraph. Here's the URL:

I never saw anything else on this mid-air until your posting today.

Thx - Renny

yea, read about it there. It was mentioned today at the pilots meeting along with a discussion about mid airs, keeping eyes outside in cruise and thermal flight, etc etc.
