I fly a Pawnee without audio connected and simply include the PowerFlarm in my scan. It gives valuable information, though I agree connecting the audio is better - - and we plan to do that. The PF is my Husky has a super bright LED as an alarm annunciator, which for me is just as good as an audio alarm. bumper I said the AUDIO was useless, not Flarm. Scanning the PF and adding big LEDs is visual, not audible and neither is 'just as good' as having it fed into your headset. The OP asked if the built-in Flarm audio was useful in a tug and that's what I replied to. Our Club's experience is that it's not. I'd also repeat the bit you deleted. OzFlarms intended for tugs were modded by their manufacturer (using a soldering iron) to have a lead to feed the audio into the headset. Surely if it can be done this far from civilisation, something similar can be arranged in the centre of the known world without everyone having to whine at the designer. I'd also say that that was about 5 years ago. Flarmboy (Nigel) got a licence, got the radio approvals locally and manufactured and sold them himself. Most Oz gliders have had Flarm for several years. I'd guess that something similar could have been done by an enterprising person in the US but...? ![]() GC |
