I have initiated and am in the midst of a thread on The Glider Forum where
European pilots speak of Flarm in glowing terms ... both in the Mountains
and the Flatlands.
It appears that the IGC has not banned its use and 2 pilots report good
practical results with Flarm when used in contests.
Now we have what appears to be a proven and popular system that is
reasonably economical for Cost and Power.
Given that mid-airs are a/the major safety issue for our sport, what are
we waiting for?
Is it a fact that the spectrum is available or not?
If it is, the GFA should consider lobbying/acting to ensure that the
system is picked up for OZ and EVERY owner should be encouraged or
incentivised to install ASAP.
Regards
Geoff
