Let the Moriarty Group speak for their requirements for attendance. If you don't like it, tell them. If they won't change, don't go at that time. Pick another time to go fly this amazing site when it won't be so crowded.

Hey Steve.

To my knowledge this event is not Flarm mandatory.

Mandatory or not I was agreeing with Ramy that PowerFlarm is highly advisable at any large gathering of gliders. No site is immune, not even Moriarty. The near midair collision at the regional last year settles that argument.

Keep in mind, the big drivers of risk a how many gliders are flying at the same time and, is the flying with cu or blue. If it's a lot of gliders with cu the probability for conflict will be elevated. If it's cloud streets or convergence, it's higher still. Buddy/mentor flying also makes for elevated potential for collision conflict. On a positive note Flarm is quite helpful and adds to the enjoyment when buddy flying.

I have an extra PowerFlarm Core Pure. I will gladly loan it to anyone who who lacks the financial ability to supply one for themselves.
