Sounds to me like Chicken Little (the sky is falling).

Do what you want, Sean. Install what you want. Petition the Competition
Committee to require FLARM. Why not invent an autopilot which can be
coupled to the FLARM, ADS-B, TCAS II, and every other device that your
obviously deep pockets can afford and program that autopilot to keep you
clear of other aircraft.

Why not just sit on the ground while your glider flies itself and cry about
us pig headed old guys who are too dumb to see it your way? Call me
unintelligent if you want. I'm not impressed.

Chris, well said. Everything is politics over here lately.

Otherwise...I rest my case.

This has nothing to do with government...IMO. It has to do with glider
pilots, high risk, safely and needless death that is assured of happening
without a broad effort by intelligent people. Stop hiding behind the word
mandate. It IS a free country so you make your own call and excuses (3
pages full...). The FAA takes way too long. More pilots will die in the US
before FLARM is widely enough adopted and has a chance to reach its full
safety potential.

Well, its back to playing darts with our fellow glider, power and airline
traffic for awhile. Enjoy!
