Hi Udo!

A Canadian or US citizen or permanent resident will fly a gilder in a
legal fashion only, if the Flarm is removed from the glider. But some
glider hirer will allow the removal of the Flarm, because most likely
his hull insurance will not pay, as would my hull insurance if I would
remove the Flarm from my glider. Furthermore a lot of soaring sites
allow take off only with functional Flarm.

The big problem is, that a Canadian or US citizen or permanent resident
can sign no legal binding document that frees the manufacturer from
liability.

What liability are we talking about? And how could that liability be
any greater than that of any other manufacturer of electronic devices
for aircraft?

The document will be binding only for him but not for the
surviving dependents or for the entities that have to support the
surviving dependents.
