Would you accept "partly false"? Aircraft with TCAS are providing
separation services for them, as are most of the aircraft using flight
following and those with TPAS units. I don't know any glider pilots that
think ALL other aircraft are being separated from them, because they
realize a lot of the "Cessna" drivers aren't in contact with ATC, and
know for sure the other gliders aren't.
