Fly safer with Maxx

In the latest firmware of the XC Tracer Maxx the automatic shutdown is deactivated. The Maxx has a long battery autonomy of up to 60h and sends out a Flarm signal twice per second during this time. In case a pilot is missing after a flight, this Flarm signal can be searched for up to 60h on Open Glider Network OGN and by Search And Rescue Services SAR.
