Default Powerflarm's unknown effect on the first contests in US


Peter, there is a difference between "transmitted through the air" and
"transmitted by wire to your PDA".
Then I remind that transmission is broadcasted, and if a "target" is in
threat with another aircraft 10km aways,
maybe because in the same thermal, then it will transmit all informations to
everybody, in the air.
Enough said.

LK8000 (as all other peripheral devices) can only interpret the
information it gets from the Flram device. Since Version 4.0 targets in
stealth mode will NOT transmit Track,TurnRate,GroundSpeed and
ClimbRate in the PFLAA record. RelativeVertical will be transmitted
degraded, unless the target is concidered to be a danger target.

Therefore there is IMHO no way to get the (tactical important) data from a
Flarm target in stealth mode. So it's up to the pilot by setting stealth
mode ON/OFF to decide if other pilots can receive those tactical
information or not.
