PowerFLARM leeching comments

Of course FLARM can help, IF it is used as intended and the human bit understands what he is bing told. It still relies on good old fashioned lookout. If Flarm alerts you, it's probably because your "good old fashioned lookout" has not alerted you. Flarm does depend on you finding the other glider that caused the alert, but finding a threat after it's position is given to you is not part of "good old fashioned lookout". The pilot should continue to use his "[not really so] good old fashioned lookout" after he has installed a Flarm unit, because there are still aircraft that don't have Flarm or a transponder, and because Flarm isn't perfect. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me)
