AFAIK it is not _yet_ an IGC logger. At the moment, the developers
concentrate on collision avoidance, IGC logger approval is secondary
priority.

Friday there'll be another meeting/presentation here at Zuerich with
news, updates and discussions.

FLARM does NOT provide to the pilot a count of targets in a certain
vicinity. A count is a minor factor for collision avoidance and can
easily lead to confusion (remember that only FLARM equipped A/C can be
targetted!).
