Andy you are correct and thank you for correcting the question. Being able to hear an alert before you "eyes on" an alert is most important.

If you already have a ClearNav and were going to add a Flarm Brick, do you need a dedicated Flarm display as well on your panel, or does the ClearNav show the needed information just fine by itself? Opinions?




ClearNav flarm interface is still in development. The latest publicly

available beta is 2.2.0.25 and this has several known issues with

flarm (most apparent in a really high density flarm environment). I

am flying 2.2.0.31alpha and it's much better and quite stable, but

still does not include pcas alerts or the ability to switch flarm into

stealth mode. I'll see about getting a later version posted to the

website. We're not quite ready to say we can replace the dedicated PF

display.

update: Mode C/S & ADSB almost ready for public release. Inclination is to hold off on next release until this is all tested.
