Obviously you've never even seen a FLARM device.

Proper pilot training has to be the way to reach the
majority.


I've always thought that my lookout was pretty good. FLARM really opened
my eyes. The problem are all those gliders you'll never know you haven't
seen.

Do you think that FLARM will ever be used
by the majority voluntarily?


It already is in certain European countries.

Frankly, at the beginning, I was not a FLARM enthusiast at all but
extremely sceptic about it. It took only one season to completely change
my mind.
