Re: [Aus-soaring] Airspace glider issue UK
Interesting. As in oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die Sounds like the ATC guys saw the glider from the primary return and the glider didn't have a Mode C or Mode S transponder. If he had, the ATC unit would have known his altitude and he would have shown up on the airliner's TCAS which would have made the airline pilot a whole lot happier. I wonder why the glider pilot didn't seem to see the approaching airliner? At 3000 feet the 757 wouldn't be going all that fast and it is large.
