| | Over the past few years we have seen an increase in demand for knowledge and supply of conspicuity equipment. This includes the latest FLARM, transponder and ADSB technology. The benefits of being equipped with a transponder are most apparent to glider pilots when seeking zone transits through controlled airspace - a factor which is sadly becoming more prominent. Click here to see our buyers' guide We have fitted conspicuity equipment to a range of Schleicher, Schempp-Hirth, JS, HPH, DG and LS gliders. We have also fitted units to a number of TMGs and towplanes. Click here to enquire about equipping your aircraft
