So let me understand what you are saying. You are flying along doing a scan as always and then when you get a Flarm alert you continue the same scan, only more quickly, that has not yielded any results because to glance at the screen for a position of the possible collision target would be dysfunctional? And oh, if you have not seen the collision target glider, don't worry he has probably seen you. Just beautiful.

There seems to be some misunderstanding and dysfunctional response to Flarm alarms being described here. When an alarm sounds look out and scan fully and quickly (including above) rather than looking at the display first. If you see no glider that appears to be on a collision course you are in the same position as you would be if you didn't have Flarm but were being really attentive to see and avoid PLUS the other glider that you can't see is also getting an alarm and he can probably see you if you can't see him. People seem to forget in theur response to alerts that Flarm is two way and we are also giving out alarms.


The problem is gliders that don't have Flarn and we had a collision between two of those on our ridge a couple of years ago.
