High Vis Markings
"France mandated high vis markings for a reason, they saw a statistically significate difference. France mandated Flarm for the same reason, it works." FRANCE mandated hi viz marking to help see gliders in the snowy backdrop of the alps. They also mandated FLARM for the alps as FLARM can see round corners in the mountains and the eye can not. Bright colour markings do nothing. If you wish to improve visibility put silver reflective tape on each of your control surfaces.
