6.1.10.3 Flarm Warnings
Flarm warnings will be raised only when system is receiving FLARM data from internal or
external FLARM module. Using this dialogue the user can define which warnings will be
shown and how they are going to be shown. There are three types of warnings:
 Traffic warnings will be raised once a new aircraft is detected by FLARM.
 Collisions will be shown every time a collision risk with an aircraft occurred.
 Obstacles warnings will be displayed when a collision with a ground obstacle is
predicted.
If the voice option is installed it is also possible to hear the horizontal and vertical situation
to the current object. Uncheck appropriate items if you want to disable this part of the
message. You can also define the way direction to the Flarm object will be presented.
There are three options:
 Relative bearing: In this option direction will be given relative to the glider’s nose
direction (e.g. Traffic 3’ o clock , which means traffic, is on your right side).
 True bearing: Direction is give with absolute direction (e.g. Traffic from 330° )
 Relative/True bearing is a combination of both methods. Relative bearings will be
given when flying straight and true bearings will be given when thermaling.
 Graphical presentation. When this item is check, also a graphical presentation of
FLARM will be shown, when Flarm warning is displayed.
