Flarm radar page
The Flarm radar page shows all surrounding objects reported to the Era by a Flarm device. If
the said Flarm device has an ADS-B module, the Era will show ADS-B objects as well. Flarm
objects are shown on a radar screen with track-up orientation.

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.
Pressing the lower push-rotary knob will invoke the selection of a Flarm object to follow. For
a selected object, relative altitude and vertical speed of object will be displayed on the screen,
as depicted on Flarm radar select circle.
Rotating the top push-rotary knob will change the zoom of the flight radar screen and pressing
it will open the Flarm objects sub-page. In the Flarm sub-page, a list of all visible aircraft is
shown. A green dot next to the name of the object shows which object has been select for
additional info on the Flarm radar page. Object ID and distance is also shown.

be seen and/or edited, for each object:
