Default PowerFlarm at Region 9 Contest


By the time I finish paying for the core unit, 57mm display (nothing else will fit my panel without serious layout modifications and instrument changes), installing it according to the relevant Schleicher TN, and revising the W&B and equipment list I figure it's going to cost me a fair chunk more cash than the commonly bandied about "$1500" too.

What I would really like to see, and presumably it will come in time, would be the option to purchase a vario-nav system with built in integrated PowerFLARM similar to what's available now with the "classic" European FLARM system.


There is no Schleicher TN on flarm installation, which will make your life easier.

Most of the current NAV systems allow you to display flarm data without the additional flarm display. Most clearnav pilots that I know are not using the flarm display, and just showing flarm data on clearnav.
