It was interesting to read on the board about the collision
in a thermal between two Swiss FLARM equipped gliders
who already knew of each other's presence. It just
goes to show that no matter whether a glider is spotted
by eyeball or FLARM you still have to avoid it.

Exactly. FLARM does not avoid collisions. It helps finding the
"opponent" before it's too late.

I presume that was not a fatality.

Yes. One landed the damaged glider, the other one bailed out.


I think that European clubs are fitting FLARMS in the
tugs because it is mentioned in some off-board messages
I have received. Apparently early on it gave false
alarms on tow but that this now has been addressed
in the updates.

Also correct.
