Safe shared airspace – avoiding active DZs

Skydiving /  parachuting takes place at DZs identified in the AIP and on charts and temporarily elsewhere as notified by NOTAMs.

To help raise the awareness of skydiving activity, the BGA has liaised with British Skydiving and subsequently published a glider pilot self-briefing that highlights the key issues.

You can view the DZ self-briefing here.

A separate guide about gliding activity for aeroplane/helicopter pilots, including drop plane pilots, is available here.
