There exists a difference of views at the Scottish Gliding Centre as to whether Flarm alerts have a net benefit for gliders on our local ridge overflying two villages. The worry is that pilots could be alarmed by alarms and thus overloaded. John Galloway |

Does anyone know what trajectory a glider takes when the pilot jumps out?
The loss of weight forward of the C/G would upset the trim by a significant amount.... More so if the glider was inverted. |
