Default Powerflarm Pcas arrows for verticle seperation info.

Joe,

it's a pity that the 172 didn't have a FLARM/PowerFLARM installed,
as that would've avoided the dangerous situation in the first place.

This spring, we had an accident here in Switzerland where a Ventus
was hit by a Mooney. His tail was cut off and he parachuted out,
practically unhurt. The Mooney, severely damaged, proceeded to
make a safe landing at its homebase.

The Ventus had a FLARM (the Classic one, without PCAS),
but the Mooney didn't.

We'll take your input into consideration. Is your's a PowerFLARM Portable
or Core?

Best
