We had a team briefing and took off with nice weather from runway 24 in Kortrijk. We got a little excitement when passing under Frankfurt’s airspace when large jets were vectored 800ft above us : only the formation leader had its transponder on so the big boys could not see us on TCAS but we spotted the easily by the naked eye.

Vigilance, monitoring traffic, and staying attuned to changing weather conditions contribute significantly to safety. Setting up for an approach, taxiing at a busy airfield with complicated diagrams, during the actual takeoff and landing, or receiving an updated weather briefing in flight are a few examples of this.

You also gain the benefit of safety alerts from ATC and perhaps even weather advisories. If ATC is able to accommodate your request, your next transmission will likely be a transponder “squawk” code. DON’T rely on ATC for weather avoidance. The controller will advise when radar contact is established.

Regulations do not mandate gliders carry transponders, such as FLARM or ADS-B, and many do not. Cessnas are, unfortunately, much less maneuverable than gliders, which make sharp turns and sudden pull-ups in taking advantage of developing weather conditions to maintain altitudes. Unfortunately, gliders are hard to see.
