FLARM – Advanced Safety Technology for Light Aircraft

FLARM (Flight Alarm) is an advanced safety technology used in light aircrafts such as helicopters, gliders, and other general aviation aircrafts. Similar to ADS-B, FLARM operates on a radio frequency that enables aircrafts to broadcast their position, direction of flight, and altitude to other aircrafts in the vicinity. FLARM is one of the most sophisticated collision avoidance system that has been approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for installation in all types of light aircrafts.

Unlike traditional transponders, FLARM equipment has a low power consumption, making it ideal for gliders and other aircrafts that do not have a large electrical power supply. Due to its low power consumption, FLARM equipment can remain operational for longer periods of time, significantly reducing the risk of collision accidents. FLARM is designed to operate even in remote areas with poor or no air traffic control radar coverage, thereby providing an additional layer of safety to pilots and passengers.

FLARM technology is revolutionizing the way light aircrafts operate and interact in airspace. It provides pilots with real-time situational awareness, enabling them to make well-informed decisions and avoid potential collisions. Furthermore, FLARM technology is capable of communicating with both ground-based and other airborne systems, providing pilots with advanced meteorological and navigation data. In essence, FLARM is an essential safety tool for pilots who want to enhance their aircraft’s safety and their own flying experience.
