Yes Ramy I do understand that. FLARM was originally designed to alert
pilots flying in wave, where the relative movement of soaring gliders is
very small, and their direction of travel, (track) is often unrelated to
their heading (direction they are pointing) to an outside observer. FLARM
is very good at alerting us of that situation and quite often the rate of
closure is very small.
That is just one situation where FLARM is excellent however it does not
necessarily mean that it is good in other situations.
