ILAFFT (I Learned About Flying From That)
This is the safety page on the CSC Web site. The first document is the BHPA Incident Record Form. Please, if you have an incident however minor, fill in the form and send it to the Club Safety Officer. By showing that safety incidents don't have to involve a fatality, we can convince our insurance company that free flying is like most other sports. Secondly, by sharing your experience, other pilots might not make the same mistake.
Accidents rarely happen by chance. Most accidents because a chain of events come together - most of the time we get away with it; sometimes we don't. Accident reports are published on this page in the hope that better understanding will lead to less accidents. AAIB reports are copyright Air Accidents Investigation Branch. BHPA reports are copyright British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association

RAF Air Clues magazine - Spring 2015 |
The RAF do care about us and the article on page 18 in this edition is worth a read. The "I learnt about flying from that" on page 10 is a good dissection of a close shave - something which we in the paragliding community don't do enough of |
