PowerFLARM Manual Version 1.0
In light aircraft, flight path predictions of more than half a minute
are unusable.
Data Protection
The transmitter has no influence on what a receiver does with
the data received. It is possible that this data might be logged by
other airborne or ground stations and then used for other
purposes. In many instances this could be to the user's advantage
(e.g. automated flight log, flight tracking, last position recovery):
The data could also be used as evidence against the aircraft’s
airspace or height violations or collision avoidance actions. With
each signal FLARM transmits a unique identification code
relating to the aircraft or pilot.
Limitations
The use of FLARM is strictly limited to non-commercial flights in
daylight under VFR (Visual Flight Rules). FLARM may not be
used for navigation or in aerobatics.
Certification
FLARM has not undergone the conventional aeronautical
certification process. FLARM software development was
conducted in accordance with the usual standards and
procedures required for industrial electronics products.
Start-Up
To switch on PowerFLARM, the operating button must be
pressed for at least three seconds.
A start-up display then appears with
further information about the battery
charge condition.
After start-up, the PowerFLARM display shows how many GPS
satellites have been found. As soon as GPS reception is sufficient
to give a worthwhile determination of position, PowerFLARM
then switches to normal operation.
