Anti-collision system for gliders
Hello,
Is anyone aware of anti-collision systems (projects or products) for gliders based on GPS and short range radio? Such systems broadcast position at random times, allowing equipped vehicles (e.g. gliders) to be informed when they have a dangerous trajectory relative to other equipped gliders). Rgds Karl Osen |

May be ADS-B is such a system you are looking for. See http://www.upsat.com/air_home.shtml But have a look at the prices! Peter Nyffeler Tel P 01 363 62 42, Tel G 01 632 43 60, Fax G 01 632 10 21 |

With all the Palm-Pilots and navigation systems available in gliders these days
to play with, I would suggest that the most important piece of glass in the cockpit is the one above the insturment panel. |

I actually prefer Al's approach above the instrument panel,
the plastic Jesus. Have faith, you'll find another thermal... I would suggest that the most important piece of glass in the cockpit is the one above the insturment panel. Great - I thought I was the only one with a vanity mirror ;-P |

Jesus might save your soul mate, but eventually not your body.
Who guarantees that I can soar in heaven? I prefer to trust in look out, but there are black spots below and to the rear. Having some hardware, which would scan the black spots as well, can't harm. It is like having panoramic mirrors, ABS and Airbags in your car Chris "Mark James Boyd" wrote in message ... I actually prefer Al's approach above the instrument panel, the plastic Jesus.

I believe the new Garmin Rino GPS's have a built in 5km range radio
transmitter/receiver which is capable of showing the locationand snail trail of other similar units in the area. Sounds like quite a useful feature. Not quite what you are asking for but a step towards it. Cheers Andy "Karl Osen" wrote in message ...
