Yikes! This is the THIRD collision I've heard of in the last year and a half between PowerFLARM equipped aircraft where one of the PowerFLARMs is not working. In the first two cases the towplane PowerFLARM was not operating, one because of undisclosed issues, the other because the towpilot was taxiing back to the hangar without turning on the PowerFLARM when a glider at the end of its landing run pulled in front. 3 Missed Opportunities 5 Write Offs 2 Fatalities 1 Hospitalisation How much has/will your insurance go(ne) up ? Kinda makes one wonder how many of these collisions would have happened in the era before Flarm. You know, when pilots actually looked outside more often. -- Dan 5J
