Mounting Stuff on the Canopy or Glare Screen - Safe?
I noticed on page 4 of the aforementioned PowerFLARM Antenna Application Note (lots of great pictures of how to do, and not do, things) the following;
"Ensure that the installation does not conflict with any operation of the aircraft e.g. Canopy emergency release. No, the coaxial antenna cable will not 'just rip'..." Which implies that they too know that mounting stuff on the canopy is bad.

EW/C2006/10/02 for the report.

How refreshing to to see "officialdom" recognize that - despite the sensible recommendations flowing from this accident - no "promulgation from on high" (short of banning the activity, I suppose) could eliminate the ambiguity/uncertainties involved in the transition from VFR to cloud-flight within 5 miles of a glider launch site.
