Stationary climbs in wave - Flarm unit stops transmitting
The algorithm that detects an aircraft is stationary on the ground after landing and therefore switches off the "transmission" of position etc., has been found to become active during a wave climb where the glider is turned directly into wind and can have virtually no ground speed even though it may (or may not) have a vertical speed. This would make the "stationary", wave-climbing glider invisible to any other Flarm equipped glider that may be transiting along the wave at high speed. The manufacturer has been alerted to this situation and is considering possible improvements.
Anyone else found this in wave ? http://www.flarm.com/news/SGU_Flarm_Report.pdf _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
