Default Flarm collision alert from Tow Plane ADS-B

If flarm uses the ICAO address it could identify the towplane as a towplane and treat it accordingly.


But Flarm, in its current state of development, has no obvious way to do this. The flarmnet database resides in whatever display you are using, not in the flarm.

Default Flarm collision alert from Tow Plane ADS-B

I wired my Flarm with double pole, 3 position switch. The first pole powers the brick and the second pole powers the Flarmview display. In the middle position, the PowerFlarm Core is on, but the display is off. In the full up position both are On. This allows me to kill the display without turning off my Flarm which provides Flarm visibility to others.
