We are planning to have a beta v2.60 release before November 2012.

That release should also improve PCAS range.

It will be a joint release for both 'Brick' and 'Portable'



The release will also include obstacle warning functionality.

If you know of any dangerous obstacles (especially non-AIP), please let us know.

Check out Obstacle Submission Manual:

Thanks Flarm. And it looks like we now have a dedicated forum at

To those claiming that powerflarm is not working as promissed, this is far from accurate. Powerflarm is doing well what it was mainly design to do, provide collision alert between flarm equipped aircrafts. Sure there are still some quirks, and fixes are coming. Worst case scenario you will need to send you unit back for free upgrade. You won't benefit from waiting, it will cost the same or more later, and in the meantime you will be missing a valuable protection for yourself and those who fly with you.
