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??


And radios. Why wouldn't you? We're training people to be cross country pilots.
