[Aus-soaring] ADS-B mandate

I'm sorry Nigel but it's not superior at all, it's downright dangerous. The adoption of UAT in the USA is a mistake. With UAT based ADS-B, you are invisible to commercial aircraft! TCAS is unable to see UAT. So Qantas Link, Rex, the RFDS etc can't see you. ATC can but that is of minimal use

Re: [Aus-soaring] OzRunways composite WX

On the map/nav screen, tap the toolbox icon (third from the right of the upper menu on the bottom of the screen) to get the 'info screens' menu. Third from the bottom is 'radar overlay'. The last time I used it, it was out by 40min. Perhaps they synchronise by timestamp and they were limited

[Aus-soaring] OzRunways/Avplan

Also the weather radar on Avplan is overlaid on the chart, unlike Ozrunways. Nice feature. OzRunways DOES do this too, check your settings. Agree about the licensing though. ForeFlight (US equivalent) allows multiple iPads access at no surcharge; great for redundancy. Casey iPhone

And the dichotomous ironies continue…. Justification for self-regulation/administration and lowered medical standards for gliders have been won using the low mass, low speed and low passenger capacity arguments. Perversely, suggest that a glider pilot should be able to be responsible for

Ok, I've sat by and watched the sense of entitlement and GFA bashing long enough. As Tim playfully pointed out, it's the F in GFA. The state bodies are entitled to set enforce their own rules. Would national harmonization be nice? Sure! If it was me, I'd write stating present experience,
