FLARM Warnings

FLARM warnings will be raised only when the system is receiving FLARM data from an
internal or external FLARM module. Using this dialogue, the user can define which warnings
will be shown and how they are going to be shown. There are three types of warnings:
Traffic warnings will be raised once a new aircraft is detected by FLARM.
•
Obstacles warnings will be displayed when a collision with a ground obstacle is
•
predicted. An obstacles file should be loaded.
Alert zones are marked by ground stations to notify pilots of active parachute drop
•
zones, RC/RPAS/UAS flying areas or similar.
The Low alarms, Medium and High alarms combo box define alarm levels at which
•
system will display collision warnings.
Explanation of alarms:
Low alarms: For distant FLARM targets the main unit can give a short or long
•
message, just a beep or be turned off (19-25 seconds before possible collision).
Medium alarms: For distant FLARM targets the main unit can give a short or long
•
message, just a beep or be turned off (14-18 seconds before possible collision).
High alarms: For very close FLARM targets the main unit can give a short or long
•
message, just a beep or be turned off (6-8 seconds before possible collision).
