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?

The diagrams in Slide 12, "Situation in Gliding", indicate
the scenarios in which Flarm was predicted to give
improvement on See and Avoid and the one that it can't -
i.e. "identical circling".
