| There are two things in
gliding which have the greatest potential to kill you if you ignore them:

- Failing to maintain a safe speed near the ground
GFA Operational Directive
On 14 August 2003, the GFA issued an Opereational Directive
on Lookout together with two suporting papers. These papers are in the MUST READ category for all pilots.

The following two articles on LOOKOUT should be studied by all glider pilots, not only
for their safety, but also for the safety of those with whom they share the sky!
