1.2 General information about FLARM
For years, general Aviation has been confronted with dramatic mid-air collision accidents.
With the extreme fine shape and relatively high cruise speed of modern airplanes, the
human vision has reached its limit of detection. Another aspect is airspace restrictions for
VFR traffic that create an augmentation of traffic density in certain areas, and the associated
airspace complexity that requires more pilot attention to the navigation material. These have
a direct impact on the probability of a collision affecting powered aircraft, gliders, and
rotorcraft operations.
This type of equipment in General Aviation is not required by technical specifications or by
operational regulations but is recognized by the regulators as an important step toward
improved aviation safety. Therefore, it is not considered as essential for flight and may be
used for situation awareness only on basis of non-interference with certified equipment
necessary for safe flight and no hazard to persons on board.
A correct antenna installation has a great effect on the transmission/receiving range. The
pilot shall ensure that no masking of the antenna occurs, especially when the antennas are
located in the cockpit.
FLARM will only warn about other aircraft that are likewise equipped with a compatible
device.
The firmware must be updated to the latest version at least every 12 months. Failure to do
so can lead to the device not being able to communicate with other aircraft or not operate at
all.
By using FLARM you agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) and Terms of
use of FLARM (part of the EULA) valid at time of use. This can be found in the next
chapter.
1.3 Flarm end user license agreement

4.8 Main screen
A description of LXNAV TrafficView Main Screen is shown on the following picture.
Relative altitude shows the vertical distance to the target. If there is a – symbol in front of
the target, the target is below you (e.g. -200), if not it is above you (e.g. 200m).
Status of Flarm means, that the Flarm device receives data from the other Flarm device.
Flarm identification is 6-digit hexadecimal number, in case that competition sign exists for
that ID, it will be displayed instead of the number.
In case undirected warning is so close, that it can’t be displayed as described above, the
warning looks like in the following picture:

Targets are displayed as a series of symbols, as shown in the table below. It's also possible
to change the object colour, depending on the relative altitude to the airplane. You can do
this by going to Setup-> Graphic-> Traffic. All received targets (Flarm or PCAS) are marked
with the same type of symbol except undirected targets, for which we don't know what
direction they are travelling to. Flarm targets can be separated only by their ID.
4.8.1 Flarm symbols
4.8.2 Selecting and switching between targets
A target could be selected using left and right push buttons. If a target disappears when it's
selected, TrafficView will still indicate some information about its last known location.

4.9 Flarm Warning
If Flarm warnings are enabled, (the following is) a typical screen display is as follows. The
first (Classic view) is for normal Flarm warnings, the second one is for undirected/PCAS
warnings, the third one is for obstacle warnings.
The screen indicates the relative position of the threat. In the first image, one glider is
approaching from right side (two o’clock) and from 120m above.
Rev #5 Version 1.01 July 2020
Page 19 of 34
If "modern view" is chosen, warnings will be displayed as a 3D visualisation of the
approaching threat. This is for the highest alarm level (level 3) and indicates that impact is
0-8 second (s) away. The example picture shows (us) an airplane approaching (us) you from
front left (11 o’clock) 40m below us. This screen will only be displayed if the airplane is
approaching head-on (from the front).
Obstacle warning, the upper number indicates the distance to object. The smaller lower
number indicates the relative altitude.
Alert zone warning, the upper text is a description of the zone (e.g. military zone, parachute
drop zone…). The lower number is a distance to the zone. The arrow at the bottom of the
screen displays the direction to the zone.
Non-directional warnings are shown as (seen) on the picture bellow. The upper number
represents the relative altitude, and the big number represents the distance. Circles are
coloured red if it is a level 3 alarm and yellow if it is a level 2. This warning screen is only
shown when Classic view is selected. Non-directional alarms will be displayed on the map in
all views in the form of circles around the aircraft (as seen in the first picture of chapter 4.8).
Circles on the map are coloured based on targets relative altitude.
