| * Do not fly close to hang gliders or paragliders as they can be disturbed by the turbulent wake of a glider. They also have blind spots upwards and backwards. While they can turn very rapidly, they fly very slowly compared to a glider and will find it difficult to take timely avoiding action. They are best treated as being stationary with you being responsible for any avoiding manoeuvres. Best practice is to pass well in front of them, contrary to normal overtaking procedure. Passing them on the upwind side like this is usually safest because their into-wind speed is very low but they may move rapidly downwind. | * Do not fly close to hang gliders or paragliders as they can be disturbed by the turbulent wake of a glider.
