Colibri II – Flight recorder and navigation instrument Page 7
Flarm radar page
The graphic display is divided into 3 circular zones that are separated by the
selected zoom distance (1km, 2km, 3 km). The green glider symbol is always
positioned in the middle of the screen and shows the current position of the
Colibri II. Near gliders are displayed as yellow. All gliders located in radio
range will be shown simultaneously on the display. On the top right corner the
selected zoom is displayed. The left upper corner is reserved for custom name
of the flarm object. If the custom name is not entered the field is empty. In the
lower line vario and relative altitude of selected target are displayed.
The graphic display orientation is always track up. To improve orientation, N,
E, W and S are added to the display.
Note!
Gliders presented as a dot on the screen, are gliders where pilots have intentionally activated the
PRIVACY mode on their Flarm unit. Gliders in privacy mode send limited data strings and can’t be
visualized completely. However, all warnings will appear regardless of privacy mode.
To select a different flarm target, use the up and down button. A White line will point to the selected
object.
Displaying of extended data
After a specific flarm target has been selected, an additional page
showing extended glider data, may be activated with a press on
enter button.
ID: ID number of the selected Flarm unit or Glider ID if programmed
by the owner
Dist: the distance to the glider
RelAlt: above or below in m or feet
BRG: bearing to the near glider
Var: vario of selected glider
Rx,Tx Status
GPS status
Age: Time from the last update
Edit of original IDs
A unique Flarm ID that has been received can be converted to a more useable form (maximum 3
characters) any time on the ground or in flight, providing the glider of interest that is showing on the
display and its Flarm data is currently being received with a new name. This makes it possible to identify
known nearby gliders very easily.
