There were several gliders nearby, so if the communication was lost with
the closest, the nearest indication was automatically changed to the "new"
nearest one, I suppose. IMO only thing that works, is the FLARM traffic
shown on map, like XCSoar or graphical FLARM display. Then you should be
able to see all gliders near you, to improve your situation awareness.
The development of Soartronic BT1 module started because of this accident.
