Having with at a "flarm mandatory" club for over 4 years,

my view is
that flarm is of little use where there are a significant

number of
gliders in a gaggle (ie contest/regatta situation) as the

alarms are
set of very frequently, but there is not the time to

identify whether
the cause is the glider you can see or someone else.

Slide numbers that seem to relate to gaggling; 12, 17

I might be wrong but I don't see that the FLARM PPT mentions anything
if their device is good, bad or indifferent during gaggling.

Did I miss something?
