Default Sigh... (USA)

PCAS is useless for gliders flying intentionally in proximity, e.g. in
thermals. Range is based on signal strength, altitude is based on
pressure altitude encoder and there's no directionality. Best that
PCAS would tell you is that there are "n" gliders close to you. It
certainly can't give collision warning.
