Default Why not put an audible variometer in every glider?

As I mentioned previously, all gliders in our club fleet carry audio

varios and FLARM. Part of a student's training involves learning to put

the batteries in gliders at the start of the day and taking them out and

putting them on charge in the evening. How is that different from doing

the same with the 'chutes and being involved in hangar packing and

helping with the DI in the morning?


Audio varios, FLARM, parachutes? In a club glider??
