FLARM

warns when approaching static obstacles

acoustical and visual alarm

uses license free SRD band for transmission

simple installation - 12V, 80mA

no configuration or distraction during flight

intelligent motion prediction minimizes false alarms

supports the pilot’s airspace observation


disclaimer... (not the French this time... developed by a team of
Swiss pilots) and no, I am not Swiss, nor do I have any financial
interest in the company.
