How many seconds does it take FLARM to compute a collision warning, once the aircraft are within FLARM's radio range? A warning is only issued if a dangerous approximation is detected. As far as I understand, this information is updated every second. IOW the algorithm doesn't have state that persists over position/velocity updates. IOW, the warning is pretty immediate.

FLARM was designed for gliders and the speeds we fly. If it were Objection. FLARM is a "collision-warning unit for sailplanes and light aircraft." It's "movement prediction model" is "optimised for the respective user." (from the manual). The FAQ states (in German) that it's designed for ground speeds up to 249 kts and vertical speeds of up to 256 m/s (the designers had skydivers in mind here . Range is given between 1km and 5km, it strongly depends on how the antenna is mounted.

The last time I fell from an aircraft I dropped at
a leisurely rate of 60 m/s Udo to 256 m/s (the designers had skydivers in mind here . Range is given between 1km and 5km, it strongly depends on how the antenna is mounted.
