US lawyers and US product liability.


Yes, that was understood to be one of the reasons FLARM was not
available in USA in the past. I have to wonder if making US Power
FLARM somehow different from PowerFLARM sold to the rest of the world,
and having a separate a US website, is perhaps an attempt to legally
separate the two PowerFLARM variants.

I don't see how that would work though if the manufacturing company
was the same and the alerting algorithms are common to all FLARM
products.

I've been subscribed to the PowerFLARM newsletter since Feb 2010 and
have not seen any information there, or on the PowerFLARM website,
that suggests a different product will be sold in USA.
