Is FLARM helpful?

There is too much rumor going on here. I think it's time for the RC to post its minutes, or at least a public statement of what the proposed stealth policy is going to be for 2016.

The standard procedure is: RC posts minutes, then posts proposed rules changes. Pilots are invited to comment to RC and to SSA. Rules are official when voted on by SSA at BOD. And not before.

I just cannot fathom what is going on by the statement reported here that RC has imposed stealth on Nephi 2016. Stealth is not part of the current 2015 rules. The proposed stealth rule has not been made public, commented on, or voted on by SSA. So RC simply has no right to impose a new rule on Nephi. If Nephi asked for a waiver for mandatory flarm, RC can say yes or no, but not add new made up rules.

Perhaps RC issued a warning, hey, we're recommending stealth for 2016? That would make sense at least.

Normally timing of such things is RC's business, but the number of leaks and rumors spreading around here suggests it's time to go public.
