Traffic and Collision Warning for General Aviation

FLARM^® is an affordable, active and cooperative traffic and collision-warning system for general aviation and recreational flying. Since 2004, over 17’000 fully FLARM and fully-compatible devices have been installed in aircraft worldwide. These devices have been credited on many occasions with avoiding dangerous situations and increasing situation awareness. FLARM is the only prevalent alternative to the commercial airliners’ expensive ACAS/TCAS system:

shows nearby traffic, warns visually and acoustically of approaching other aircraft or fixed obstacles
intelligent motion prediction minimizes nuisance alarms and supports situational awareness
integrates with over 50 compatible products by other manufacturers (e.g. PDA moving maps) through open serial port protocol
all versions feature microSD card for easy up- and downloads, IGC-format flight recording and OLC-approval
based on award-winning original FLARM design, endorsed by FAI, IGC/OSTIV and EASA (AMC Part 21, Part M)
optional diamond-level IGC-approval with/without engine noise sensor (ENL)
typically 4-8km radio range, verified with online radio range analyzer
powerful 16-channel high-precision uBlox LEA-GPS module
embedded database covers Italian, Swiss, Austrian, French and German obstacles, with free updates
sustainable and full compatibility with wide range of Flarm-licensed products
operates in a license-free radio band, not based on transponder technology
small size and simple installation (12V - 24VDC, 43mA)
