Hi Urs,
How do you explain the other 2 aircraft - the on tow glider was only 120ft
behind me and had no idea of the other glider.
This is a club aircraft - downloading and uploading files for remote post
event review/analysis to determine serviceability will not work!
You are seriously undermining the value of this as valid tool for SA with a
process like this and increasing the fallibility of the kit in such
operations.
The equipment should be able to verify it's serviceability, end 2 end, of
required componentry at a time requested - Pre Flight etc.
Perhaps the software could be modified in its bootup to have a routine
query for adjacent units: for aerotow it would be easy as the tug would
be the closest.
It could annunciate: "One (two or three etc) Flarms detected" etc. and
have a brief green flash to show where the unit(s) are. In the air, the
pilot should be monitoring the unit with a good lookout.
