Default The truth about Flarm Stealth and Competition definition...

My -29 was in a mid-air at Uvalde (before I owned it). The first thing I bought for my Antares 20E was a PowerFlarm. To me this issue is about decreasing the abilities of a safety device.

I run a helicopter emergency service. We have changed the safety culture of our industry by agreeing that "safety is not proprietary". Could our competitors gain an advantage with some of the information shared? Absolutely, but the greater benefit of safety out weights the small risk of losing a few flights.

Does this sound familiar?
