I started this question in a new thread in the hope that the answer will be quick and to not divert any of the many other threads on the topic.

The way I read the RC report, the RC said that if FLARM is to be used in a contest, it must be in "Competition" mode. Based on discussion on RAS, I believe that this refers to the in-process software being developed, not the current Stealth mode.

Thus, the way I read this, Stealth mode was not a consideration and is not being mandated by the RC.

However, later in the document, the Nephi organizers requested a waiver to make FLARM mandatory (which was granted) and a waiver to not use Stealth mode (which was denied).

This appears that the RC is indeed mandating Stealth in 2016.

Would someone on the RC or anyone with more insight into this please clarify?

Thanks in advance -

Lou
