The point here is not to put blame. Every year I hear of multiple expired firmwares, including that very same day he wasn’t the only one. There is an awareness and confusion issue which we need to address. I am planning to always have the latest firmware on a USB stick with me (without my config file!) and periodically ask my buddies at the airport if they upgraded the firmware this year, if not, will upgrade it for them on the spot. Ramy You're saying "The pilot with the operating flarm was not injured" - as if it's the out of date firmware that caused the other pilot to be injured after bailing out? The device was disabled by the manufacturer leading to one injury and two lost gliders. Not causing, but contributing to the likelihood of that collision. For no good reason. |
