He did not adhere to the briefing requirements and broke radio silence, complaining that the paragliders were in the way and there was no control..... For those who did attend the briefing, he made micrighters' name gat!

There was another pilot that that did not hear anything at the briefing. It was said several times that no one was to go below 200 AGL over the runway. Some ?&$)(;:/ flying a Yellow Aquilla was at the most 10ft above the runway. It looked like he was doing touch and go's. Another blow for Microlighters because this was stressed at all briefings that 200 AGL is the limit.

Otherwise it was a well orginised and big fun event enjoyed by all.

Just a pity about the tree felling guys using their Chainsaws while other wanted to sleep :roll: vhpy ##
