Now that Flarm is required of all pilots flying a Nationals, should we expect Flarm to be required at all Regionals in 2020, 2021, 2022?


Mandatory Flarm carriage at Regionals is not contemplated at this time.

The intention to require Flarm at Nationals has been discussed for several years at RC meetings and was formally announced following the November 2017 RC meeting. It was formalized for 2019 following the 2018 pilot survey that showed very strong support and near 100% voluntary Flarm carriage among pilots who flew Nationals. Neither of those prerequisites are currently met for Regional contests.
