Default FLARM

From the above document: Note: This system requires
other gliders to be fitted with a unit for it to work,
we do not sense transponder equipped traffic. We accept
no responsibility for its operation, this system will
never replace primary SEE and AVOID techniques. OzFLARM
is an aid for traffic awareness as well as providing
other handy features such as back up logger for comps
etc. The USER of OZFLARM accepts full responsibility
for good airmanship and acknowledges that OzFLARM is
not intended to replace lookout!

That is what is called a get out clause. Will pilots
look at it in the same way though?


I would call that a common sense clause :-)

However, pilots not looking at it in the same way shouldn't fly gliders in
the first place...
