No Flarms. 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.

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.

Did either of those gliders have FLARM?
