An adapter kit for the updated antenna connectors is available, allowing the use of existing antennas and cables. The form factor and mounting holes are identical.
The familiar antenna and data connections on PowerFLARM Fusion make it effortless to upgrade from a PowerFLARM Core. Depending on the connected app, Fusion can stream either the complete data set via the FLARM data port protocol or limited traffic information using the GDL 90 protocol. There is no need for an additional bridge device.
In addition, many tablet and smartphone apps can show traffic information from PowerFLARM Fusion directly, using its integrated Bluetooth and Wi–Fi dual radio. ConnectivityĪ plethora of FLARM displays and other accessories are available from a wide range of manufacturers. In addition to the practical Status page, a support package containing all relevant configuration and debug files can easily be downloaded to the connected computer or mobile device. FLARM Hub makes obtaining 3rd party support a breeze. Diagnostics & SupportĮven the most diligent people can sometimes overlook details in advanced systems. This makes it possible to verify the radio range on the airfield after any flight. The new CARP range analyzer, which continuously evaluates the measured range during flight, is now integrated into FLARM Hub using the same visualization as the online version.
Traffic MonitorĪ radar–like traffic monitor shows all aircraft seen by FLARM (including ADS–B traffic) and can be used for installation and configuration verification as well as for maintenance purposes. Four physical LED lights, known from (and missed since) Classic FLARM, have found their way back in PowerFLARM Fusion, and are also replicated on the Status page. The Status page shows the condition of the system, indicating firmware, obstacle, and error conditions. Configuration changes are instantly applied, and the current configuration can easily be verified and printed for documentation purposes. The new Status and Configuration pages make this easier than ever before. Proper configuration is important for every FLARM device, as the collision warning algorithms adapt to the aircraft in which the device is installed. In addition to the standard FLARM data port protocol (ICD), PowerFLARM Fusion also supports the GDL 90 protocol used by many EFBs and navigation apps. Additionally, FLARM Hub has a traffic display, a bi–directional data port, and built–in tools for range analysis as well as diagnostics & support.įurthermore, PowerFLARM Fusion has a range of Bluetooth and Wi–Fi connection options and can connect to major navigation apps directly such as Air Navigation Pro, SkyDemon, ForeFlight, EasyVFR, iPilot, and XC Soar. IGC files can be downloaded directly to the computer or mobile device. Introducing FLARM Hub – a web app that runs on the device and works with any smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer – configuring your FLARM has just become super easy.įLARM Hub can be used for firmware and obstacle database updates. PowerFLARM Fusion combines the robust and proven PowerFLARM technology with the easiest and most comprehensive configuration and maintenance interface on the market. FLARM systems are available from several manufacturers for powered airplanes, helicopters, gliders, and UAVs. Over 50,000 manned aircraft and many UAVs are already equipped with FLARM and the number is rapidly increasing.
With FLARM installed, you are alerted of both traffic and imminent collisions with other aircraft, so you can take action before it is too late. What is FLARM?įLARM is the traffic awareness and collision avoidance technology for General Aviation, light aircraft, and UAVs. This implies not only a straightforward installation and configuration, but also ensuring the continued performance of the system. With more than 50,000 manned aircraft already equipped (over half of all GA in Europe), many pilots consider it unacceptable to fly without a functioning FLARM system. FLARM has effectively eliminated mid–air collisions between equipped aircraft. Most of these accidents happen in good visibility and daylight. It is based on the latest PowerFLARM technology and features a novel web app called FLARM Hub.Įvery year, around 40 aircraft are involved in mid–air collisions. PowerFLARM Fusion is a modern FLARM device for installation in General Aviation aircraft. PowerFLARM Fusion Your Eyes in the Sky General Description
