Default Flarm in the US this summer

The competitors are looking for every advantage they can get, do you
think that they will fly with their Flarms turned on to broadcast
their position? I know, the same could be said for transponders...


FLARM has a so called privacy or stealth mode, which you can activate
temporarily or permanently. With stealth mode activated, your ID is
hidden, and position/lift data are not transmitted. Only collision
warning is active in stealth mode.
