Just curious. Do the gliders in this video have FLARM? How well does it work in this sort of flying?

OzFlarm is pretty popular in Australia, and use of flarm is mandatory for this Australian contest. But I'm curious what you meant by "this sort of flying". They are basically flying a contest, and the myriad possibilities that involves (large gaggles, leaching/following, buddy flying etc.). Or was there something specific you meant?

Nope. I'm a clueless newbie about contest flying. I read "Joey Glide Camp" (not Comp) and thought this was a training camp for young pilots. I'm vaguely aware that some contests nowadays deliberately increase separation between gliders, and I did not realize that people were still deliberately flying this close.

I guess that the OZFlarm works pretty well? Is it common for the OZFlarm to prompt evasive moves in the circumstances shown in this video?
