Cockpit video recording -- the time is now.
Thanks Mike,
I thought Flarm was mandated in Europe.* I'm pretty sure France requires it in the Alps, but that's neither here nor there.* I believe your gliding community is independent from your government (BGA), but ours is not.* We're under the FAA where their motto is "We're not happy until you're not happy".* In the US Flarm was initially rejected by our FCC (Federal Communications Commission), and it had to be modified (I don't know how), to meet our requirements.* Flarm is not mandatory in the US except in SSA sanctioned contests (I think) but, since I don't fly in contests, I'm not affected by that. As I said elsewhere, I use Flarm because I wanted to.* I often fly past Santa Fe, New Mexico, where there is a lot of general aviation traffic, including jets, and I like being able to see them on my Flarm display.

It's mandated in France certainly but I'm fairly sure it was the FFVV, the gliding community that mandated it after an accident in which I believe 3 but possibly even 4 people lost their lives. The risks may be different in that in parts of France ie The Alps, on a busy day you can have several hundred gliders in a relatively small area.

Likewise, I've flown legacy aircraft which didn't have shoulder straps without wetting my pants over the hazards. For the last time:Â* Choose what works for you and let me choose for myself.Â* Try to force me and we'll have a problem. On 10/3/2018 8:50 AM, Mike Oliver wrote: What about straps Dan? I believe they are mandated. Should that be removed -- Dan, 5J |
