No problem, though. Next step is remote control of the FLARM status by the flight computer: stealth (most of the time), "non-emitting" mode (automatically in any thermal of MacCready value or above), and normal mode (when seeking a longer-range look ahead) at the press of a virtual button. I can't wait!


Isn't that even better than stealth mode? No useful information is transmitted. Totally automated. Problem solved. We could even mandate it.


I'm in. The rules-based algorithm to make it happen is trivial. Forget all the nonsense about safety and let's welcome gliding to the 21st century!
