Fly safe and have fun.


The article refers to multitasking. When I fly my glider, my task is flying my glider - using all the information I need (when needed) from my SN10, Oudie, and Flarm, along with the ASI, altimeter, etc.

That isn't multitasking.

Now, if I was gaggling during a contest, while texting on my phone, and simultaneously watching a youtube video on my PNA on how to do brain surgery - - THAT WOULD BE MULTITASKING!
