FLARM ANTENNA (When you acquire a Live C equipped with
the FLARM module)

Warning:

The Flymaster utilizes an external antenna that has been precisely tuned to the Flarm
board circuit, specifically for the frequency band it operates on. While it may be perceived
as a minor inconvenience during takeoff, this antenna plays a crucial role in ensuring the
system functions optimally, allowing Flarm to operate effectively over the necessary
distances. This capability is vital for promoting aircraft visibility and facilitating safe
interactions with other flying vehicles.
To maintain the integrity of the Flarm system, it is imperative to use only the provided
antenna engraved with the Flymaster branding. This measure is implemented to prevent
any inadvertent swapping or confusion with other antennas. Using a different antenna can
lead to significant malfunctions within the Flarm system, jeopardizing the pilot's ability to
be detected by nearby aircraft and potentially increasing the risk of accidents.
In essence, the proper functioning of the Flarm system relies on the correct utilization of
the designated antenna. By adhering to these guidelines and ensuring the use of the
supplied antenna, pilots can enhance their visibility and contribute to a safer airspace for
all.
