Warnings given:
Power Flarm is designed to give precise warning of the relative positions of ADS-B transmitting aircraft and of aircraft transmitting Flarm information. Its Mode-C warning gives both distance (accuracy some 100m) and relative altitude (accuracy 25ft/50ft depending on XPDR).
It utilizes the same warning technology and motion prediction used in FLARM. This means it calculates hazard-levels as a function of many parameters and not only distance. (Its algorithms continually calculate and forecast possible flight vectors and matches them to probabilities) Warnings are given visually and acoustically depending on the severity of the hazard.
The display and user-interface is designed to minimize distraction.
In summary it detects:
•other ADS-B equipped aircraft without PowerFLARM
•other Mode-C/S XPDR equipped aircraft ( estimated range and real altitude difference but not direction)
•other aircraft with normal FLARM compatible systems
And all the time it transmits its own Flarm data making you conspicuous to other Flarm equipped aircraft
Answers to questions:
•PowerFLARM features an NMEA Data output just like the normal FLARM, so all FLARM-compatible display devices are also compatible with PowerFLARM, e.g. the Oudie.
•PowerFLARM also sends signals to all other FLARM compatible devices.
