Default Powerflarm's unknown effect on the first contests in US

Darn! I meant to say ADS-B instead of TIS. And to be pedantic I should
note that at a minimum one also needs a Mode S transponder with 1090-
ES Out and In capability in order to see the benefits of ADS-B and TIS-
B display on Flarm (plus flying in the right area where coverage
exists). (Note TIS-B is future capability, and I'm not addressing
UAT.)

Flarm has a similar big role to play, in my opinion. Not only will it
let us gliders avoid one another, with its TIS (and soon to come TIS-
B) capability it will help us avoid the age old "doctor in the
Bonanza" who's staring at his panel.
