We now seem to be advocating warnings and buzzers for
every eventuality. This is a list of the sounds a pilot
is expected to cope with if everyones idea are translated
into reality, it may not be complete..........
Under carriage
Flaps
Stall alert (2 one for each wing tip)
Tail dolly
Low battery
Canopy
Main Pin
G Meter
Spoiler alert
Aircraft Proximity alarm (only good if everyone has
one fitted)
Tyre pressure alert
Brake pad wear alert
Add to this one essential noise
Vario
And a few helpful ones
Radio
GPS alerts
Turn point alerts
Approaching airspace alerts on nav aides
Nope. I'm only interested in the buzzer that
warns against the problem that caused 50% of the
glider fatalities in the last 10 years.
Only one line on your list does that...
You can keep the rest...
true to form I've not even had an audio Vario in the past year
