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

Objects presented as a dot on the screen are objects where pilots have intentionally activated
the PRIVACY mode on their Flarm unit. Objects in privacy mode send limited data strings and
can’t be visualized completely. However, all warnings will appear regardless of privacy mode.
It will also display ’non-directional’ traffic. This is traffic reported by some Flarm devices with
built-in ADS-B receiver capable of receiving Mode-S transponders (example of such a device
is LX navigation Flarm Eagle with ADS-B). Non directional traffic is displayed as a circle
around the object.
Short-pressing the push-button will invoke the selection of a Flarm object to follow. For a
selected object, relative altitude, distance, ground speed and vertical speed of object will be
displayed on the screen, as depicted on Flarm radar select circle picture.
Moving the push-knob up and down will change the zoom of the flight radar screen and
long-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.
