- When in the local area stand-off for a while to assess the ground operations.

- Once you have made an assessment, join in a normal glider circuit.

- When choosing your landing direction, the position of the launch cables must be borne in mind.

- Try to avoid a landing direction that would mean crossing the winch cable line.
(Due to wind direction or pilot experience this may not always be possible and so it is up to you to work out the safest course of action).

- Having landed safely, don't ‘switch off’, continue to consider the position of the launch cables and other traffic.

- Remember always give way to gliders.
