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

The use of Flarm as a good situational awareness tool (suggested by some) seemed to be discounted because of claims of leeching. -John, Q3 So, I'd love it if someone could define "situational awareness" in the context of FLARM given that it already has extensive algorithms designed to identify and prioritize threats. So, there's a glider 3 miles ahead and 1500 feet above me climbing at 2kts. What's the "situation" that I need to be aware of? I agree it's great to get a feel for where folks are out ahead or beside you from a comfort perspective. Whether or not you are trying to latch on to the other gliders, knowing the "situation" that others have headed out and are still in the air is great tactical information. But what's the safety angle (assuming there is one)? P3
