What is PowerFLARM?
PowerFLARM is the new unit that will be sold in the US. PowerFLARM will be available in April 2011 and will be FCC approved for use in the US. PowerFLARM combines the FLARM collision-avoidance system with an 1090-ADS-B receiver (receives basic 1090 transponder replies, 1090-ES ADS-B transmissions, and 1090-TIS-B). PowerFLARM provides a comprehensive collision avoidance system which understands the flight characteristics of gliders and includes warnings for potential collisions with many non-FLARM-equipped aircraft.
