used, installed faulty, and any breach of copyright.
The following considerations apply when replacing Classic FLARM

Replacing 'Classic' FLARM by PowerFLARM

by PowerFLARM:
PowerFLARM typically has a higher FLARM radio range and
can use a second antenna.
•
PowerFLARM does not have a built-in display. Displays
compatible with Classic FLARM are also compatible with
•
PowerFLARM. However, not all displays support undi-
rected (PCAS) targets. Please ask your display manufactur-
er or dealer for details.
PowerFLARM is not supported by the PC software FLARM
Tool (for updating and configuring Classic FLARM). Please
•
use the online configurator instead (see 'Configuration').
Firmware update, IGC file download and obstacle data up-
load is via USB only, not via the Data Ports. Functions in 3
•
party devices or software for flight download/obstacle data
upload to Classic FLARM will not work with PowerFLARM.
We strongly recommend installing a USB extension cable
with an easily accessible connector unless PowerFLARM's
own USB connector is accessible. USB data transfer is faster
than over the Data Ports.
Operation of PowerFLARM is restricted to the region it was sold for.

Limitations

PowerFLARM has been designed as a non-essential situation
awareness only unit, whose task is solely to support the pilot; it is
not always in a position to provide a reliable warning. In particular,
PowerFLARM does not provide any resolution advisory (recom-
mended evasive action). Under no circumstances does Power-
FLARM facilitate a change in flight tactics or pilot conduct. Even
though you have installed PowerFLARM, you remain responsible
