Appendix C – FLARM Compatible Displays
PowerFLARM Fusion should be connected to a certified
FLARM Compatible
display.
In addition, it is also possible to connect a secondary display for additional traffic
information.
Displays that have been certified as
FLARM Compatible
can
be either standalone or integrated into other avionics, e.g.
navigation systems. Certified displays carry the FLARM
Compatible logo (see depiction on the right). Certification
ensures that all required systemic functions have been
implemented and that the pilot interface complies with
aircraft certification requirements. This includes collision warnings, status
information, error conditions, obstacle warnings, documentation, etc.
If the primary display has not been certified as
FLARM Compatible
, it can continue
to be used if the deviations are understood and the resulting risks are acceptable
or mitigated. This should be done as a risk assessment. The Requirements for
FLARM Compatible
Displays is available from FLARM Technology (
). The risk assessment should include at least the following items:
How are collision warnings communicated and annunciated (aircraft,
obstacles, and alert zones)?
How is the installed firmware version and the obstacle database (area and
expiration) annunciated or verified?
How are status and error conditions from FLARM communicated and
annunciated, both during startup and later (including the
<Severity>
property, i.e. whether the device still works)?
How is a lack of communication between FLARM and the display
annunciated?
How is a lack of GNSS position communicated and annunciated?
How are non-directional intruders visualized?
How are pilots made aware of potential deviations and/or mitigation
measures resulting from the risk assessment?
