If you look in the following database,
Replace Would with Could and I'll agree with you.
I seem to remember that one person on this list decided that they would be

Flawed logic!

I think you have got to the nub of it, but I am somewhat surprised that you
feel it necessary to bring this topic up again.
Whilst Stu's figures are no doubt valid for actual strikes, the near misses
hardly ever get reported, and therefore tallied up into (yet another), set

Sean,
With respect, I posit that you totally miss PS 's point. What he is
suggesting is that EVERY recreational aircraft (GA, RAAus, Gliding), be
fitted with flarm. No flawed logic there! I earlier drew comparison with the
mandating of compulsory use of seat belts in motor vehicles -somewhat

I too have been almost involved in a Mid-air - with two flarm equipped
aircraft, 3 in fact! I was the tow pilot of a Glider/Tug combo. All
aircraft where fitted with Flarms.
On climb, through approx. 600 feet I observed a single glider tracking

John,
It sounds like your FLARM or its antenna is defective.
This is very easy and free to verify, by uploading a FLARM IGC log to the
