Todd was at a industry meeting recently representing one of the
airlines he is with (this time LAME/commuter hat) and the topic of
FLARM came up and was mention with the use of FLARM, that gliding
has the jump on GA and commuters on short range collision avoidance
. He is worth a talk and I know he recently got one for his LS4 and
he has never used one. He is worth a talk............Ian M
Flarm range is probably too short to be much use in the higher
performance GA and commuter airline aircraft. I understand there are
airframe shielding issues even in Cessna's etc as well as carbon
fibre aircraft.. It would be interesting to see if the current Flarm
can get out of a commuter airliner windscreen as I believe they are
electrically heated.
Here's a link to an interesting article on the Schempp website.
Unfortunately it is in German and the article only appears on the
German language part of the site.
