Subject: Meeting to discuss FLARM in the USAAuthor: Paul Remde paul@remde.=
usDate/Time: 17:30 25 October 2007



Topics may include:- FLARM in Europe doesn't seem to want to allow its use =
here. What can we do to change their mind? Can it be licensed and built her=
e in the USA as it is in Australia?
I anticipate that any small European manufacturer will need some cast-iron =
guarantee that if they do a reasonnable job, they will not be sued bankcrup=
t in US courts. On a similar note I have just been reading in the BMJ about=
the perils of treating any US citizen. British medical defence unions curr=
ently will not support doctors to treat US citizens.
=20
I certainly would not want to sell an American a product which they may use=
to stop them colliding with each other. What would the US courts do about =
the two gliders that recently collided in Europe - at least one had non-ope=
rational FLARM?
=20
I am slightly surprised that the Germans are willing to sell you gliders.
