Is it correct that the search area in Rieti was 30x100km?
Also, why is the software to perform the search not released? I can see
massive time saving potential there...

I think the publication of this English language translation of an existing
German document was triggered by an approach I just made to the FLARM folks
suggesting a web tool to do exactly this, having bounced the idea off a few
experts in the UK gliding movement.

I don't claim to have a monopoly on good ideas but I think it would be good
to let the small team at FLARM respond to this first. I would not want an
enhancement to SECONDARY safety to distract them from the excellent work
they do in improving PRIMARY safety.

If this idea goes anywhere (and there are some recognised obstacles) I'll
report progress.
