Important information
Installation and usage of the canopy flash is at your own risk and responsibility. It requires approval by
an aircraft inspector authorized for such work and a complete documentation and is only allowed to
be operated on board of gliders under VFR-daylight flight rules. Improper installation may lead to
failure of the aircraft avionic system. The canopy flash is a system to enhance flight safety. The
improved visibility results in a faster detection of aircraft, however the system solely assists airspace
observation by the PILOT IN COMMAND and must not replace it at any time. SOTECC will not cover
failures due to unauthorized installation, alterations, repairs, abuse, misuse or accidents.
SOTECC GmbH reserves the right to amend its products regarding technical data and functions without

Caution, high intensity optical radiation!
Handling on ground: do not look directly into the light!
Avoid direct contact with water!
