If NATS has it wrong - they go to prison. #Simples.
Even were the glider area as AirMap had … it’s cautionary and still not needing permission. It’s a “Keep your eyes open and keep an eye in the direction of the airport.” scenario … and around there there’s more chance of hearing the “thwop! thwop” of a coastguard chopper zooming to/from some incident, I’d have thought.
Not that I’ve checked where they are based near there, or where appropriate hospitals might be - it’s just the kind of place I’d keep them in mind.
And, forget ADSB for these guys - (a) that needs ground stations to receive … and it’s a low population area, and (b) they are often too low to be registering. As the straight line in this shows … they went missing for ages because of height, primarily.
Plus, imo, monitoring ADSB needs another device and adds a further distraction from doing the important job of keeping one eye on the drone and the sky in general for anything that’s a potential problem.
Segulls do NOT have ADSB equipment!
