Default PowerFlarm Warnings Display Comparison

Clearnav allows personalized alerts. You can replace the wav files with whatever works for you. Highly recommended!

For example, my 5 o'clock low alert is "traffic, right side, down low, 5 o'clock". It gets me looking right with no delay, down and then finally I scan forward or back based on the clock verbiage but I'm already immediately looking in the right general direction based on the first two audibles.

I would estimate (at least for me) that it reduces the time to pinpoint where to look by half. Course I still struggle with the big hand and the little hand so your mileage may vary.


But you still gotta know the clock to name the .wavs correctly :-)

Here's a 30 second clip of Flarm warning on CN. CN supplies the voice, the beeping you hear is from a Butterfly 57mm display that's also in my panel.
