He was about 100 metres high and enjoying the good flying conditions when he heard a small noise “like an engine”.
When he looked up, he was shocked to find a drone had become stuck in his right-hand side brake line which connected his harness to the glider’s canopy.
As a result of the multiple-propellered drone becoming tangled, Binois’ right-hand line became shorter, as if the right brakes were on, which made it difficult to steer the glider.
Binois said while it was a stressful situation, he managed to land uninjured and with “no problems”.
“It could have been a different story if the drone struck the glider in the canopy.”
