@9Aplus ; thank you , I hope finally common sense will prevail . I know first the resistance of EASA and some EU States regulators in general about FLARM because a) it was not invented and made here ( Swiss ) and b) the frequency it uses is not protected . Both are easy to solve if the will was there. There is a huge safety benefit for VFR , as well as preventing collision against obstacles/ cables in valleys . Everyone flying recognizes this, even the non GA . ( the ex- Breitling Constellation is equipped with FLARM for instance )
That said I do not work for FLARM , and I have no interest in this company. But the technology is there and working.

A word for them in case they are listen here : Bring back the basic unit and lower the price !
