Re: Starts Procedures ; Proposal

[Muttley]

Changing the Start Procedures alone is unfortunately not sufficient. The now possible in Cockpit Tracking with smartphones on the OGN sites still gives the possibility of following a track/route of any glider. So this has to be also addressed and if possible FLARM tracking signals to be delayed or eliminated.
Best would be proprietary IGC Tracking units which can have a controlled output signal.
