I was sat out at a location this weekend, and two very lew flowing motorised light aircraft (look liked gliders but had engines) flew over. Definiteley appeared to be lower than 400feet.
Immediateley my wife asked me what would happen If I had been flying my Mavic Air, which I reckon could have easily been at same height as these aircraft - and in path of these planes.
I looked at NATS app, and the location I was at that time was not listed as a cautionary area, or had any warnings that such aircraft may be flying in area / or low.
And I did wonder what would happen if I did have my MA up in the air at that time, and how dangerous the situ would be?
I always thought if i flew my Mavic in an area that showed to be clear on NATS, this situation would not arise? To be honest it has worried me a little?
