Default FLARM in Stealth Mode at US 15M/Standard Nationals - Loved It!

It seems to me this eliminates one of the great advantages of Flarm - situational awareness. With a proper display you always know where the other gliders are around you, no need to wait for the alarm to take evasive action..


And you still have that same situational awareness for any planes near you. You just are not told who it is and how fast they are going up or down. The only thing lost is the ability to change where you go based on information about what the air is doing at some distance away from you.
