A Grob Astir glider and a Piper PA-28 were involved in sersious airprox incident near Banbury, U.K.
The Astir pilot reported that they were on a local flight to maintain currency on type and they had
climbed a couple of hundred feet in weak lift.
They were tracking west and, at the time of the incident and turning 20° to the south, the PA-28 approached from the west and slightly below heading east, they recall. They think it was climbing slightly and [they opine that the other pilot] saw them at the last minute and turned away to their left, so they were both turning left. They didn’t see the other aircraft until the last minute and, as they were turning away, they didn’t need to take any further action.
The UK Airprox Board concluded that providence had played a major part in events, that the separation that had existed had been fortuitous and the bare minimum, and that there had been a serious risk of collision. As such, the Board assigned a Risk Category A to this Airprox.
