There was a mid-air collision in 18m class today. Both damaged gliders returned to airfield. Such routine is this at WGC level that it did not make news anywhere? Do they use FLARM ?

Flarm is essentially useless in big crowded gaggles. Alarms are going off all the time. That says something more about the wisdom of big crowded gaggles and rules that promote them rather than anything bad about flarm.

FLARM is most definitely *not* useless in big crowded gaggles. You do need competition mode enabled, and a proper display (I recommend a FlarmView).
Has saved me many times already this competition from gliders turning inside me just as I was about to tighten up.

In Matthew Scutter's video of a crowded Benalla pre-start gaggle, the FLARM behaves as it should. Can only find the video on FB. Sorry. https://www.facebook.com/SoaringSocietyofAmerica/ Jim
