For Electronic Conspicuity in Q4 2023, the UK CAA published a report investigating how
human factors affect the use of Electronic Conspicuity, and what can be done to enhance
airspace safety.

Glider pilots were early adopters of electronic
conspicuity; the Mid-Air Collision (MAC) risk was
recognised and from the late 1990’s affordable
technology became available to assist pilots with
effective lookout.

(Recommendation 2005-006: It is recommended that the Civil Aviation Authority should initiate
further studies into ways of improving the conspicuity of gliders and light aircraft, to include visual
and electronic surveillance means, and require the adoption of measures that are likely to be cost-
effective in improving conspicuity.
