Mike's comment is correct and remains so. GFA Operational Regulations -
Section 9.22 states:-
"A sailplane shall not be flown so close to another aircraft as to create a
collision hazard. GFA requires that a separation from other sailplanes, and
tug aircraft towing sailplanes, of at least 200 feet vertically and
horizontally be maintained."
It's also rule number 9 in the "Rules of the Air" in the back page of
GFA-issued glider logbooks.
It's also in the oral exams pilots have to do to go up through the
certificates.
There is, I'm afraid, no oral exam associated with revalidation/currency
checks. So if you learned to fly 40 years ago it's quite likely that
nobody has ever asked you the question again.
