How does Stealth Mode work? Who should use it?

Stealth mode can be enabled using our web configurator:

This is useful only for gliders competing in a centralized competition. Other types of aircraft should not use it. Enabling it may lead to tracking services ignoring the signal.

When enabled, tactically relevant flight data (such as climb rate) are hidden from competitors, such that they cannot exploit this data at large distances - which may lead to unsafe clustering of gliders.

Starting with Version 6.00, the following rules apply, based on IGC and other recommendations:

The stealth setting is symmetric: Once enabled on a device, own flight data will be shown in degraded form on receiving devices, but the own device will also only show degraded data for all received targets.
