PowerFLARM Flex

Technical specifications

PowerFLARM Flex—the new mobile FLARM device designed for all types of manned aviation. Whether you’re replacing an old classic device or looking for a portable solution for powered aircraft or helicopters, PowerFLARM Flex is the perfect choice.

Perfect Visibility

The revolutionary hybrid display ensures optimal readability in all lighting conditions. The proven directional display with superbright LEDs remains easily visible even in sunlight and automatically dims at night to prevent dazzling the pilot. The bright 1.47-inch LCD provides additional information about nearby aircraft and allows for user-friendly configuration. Operating it via the rotary control is straightforward.

Installation:  not necessary!

Say goodbye to fiddling with cables—all antennas are fully integrated into the housing. The patent-pending FLARM antenna, developed and optimized using advanced numerical engineering methods, provides excellent range in all directions. Standard reception for ADS-B (1090 MHz) is included. PowerFLARM Flex is so compact it easily fits on any instrument panel.

Full Autonomy

Experience full autonomy with a LiPo battery in the common 18650 form factor (not included), providing up to 10 hours of runtime. Need more? The battery can be replaced even during

flight. Charge via a 5 V USB-C charger or a 12 V power supply.

PowerFLARM Flex can also operate without a battery.

The Perfect Replacement for Classic

PowerFLARM Flex is uniquely suited to upgrade old F5 and F6 Classic installations. It’s only slightly larger, shares the familiar RJ-45 socket, but offers much more functionality and significantly better range.

PowerFLARM Flex comes with a range of software improvements. InstaCARP is Flarm new method of measuring range performance, providing results within minutes of flight. The 1090 MHz receiver now also supports Mode-C signals. Flarm completely overhauled flight recording system uses a dedicated crypto chip for impenetrable security (IGC certification pending).
