All your FLARM, TCAS, gadgets and controllers still do not absolve the pilot of the duty to see and avoid.
Good luck in cloud - which is the point of the discussion.
ESPECIALLY COMPARED WITH the number of times we glider pilots get frightened by power pilots with their noses in the cockpits
That is OK then, we scare you, so you may as well scare us.
but as usual those who only see things from their veiwpoint simply set his points to one side and insist on trying to spend their way out of danger at the expense of us "lesser" types.
If you lot (the few of you that apparently fly in IMC) would answer the question why you should do so without following the same rules as everyone else that operate in IMC you might gain a little more credability.
I think gliders should be banned flying in IMC without a transponder. I think this is an issue we should take up with the CAA representing as it does an unacceptable compromise to every other users safety.
