PowerFLARM Flex

Introducing PowerFLARM Flex—the new mobile FLARM device designed for all types of manned aviation. Whether you’re replacing an old Classic device or looking for a portable solution for powered aircraft or helicopters, PowerFLARM Flex is the perfect choice.

Perfect Visibility

Our revolutionary hybrid display ensures optimal readability in all lighting conditions. The proven directional display with super-bright LEDs remains easily visible even in sunlight and automatically dims at night to prevent dazzling the pilot. The bright 1.47-inch LCD provides additional information about nearby aircraft and allows for user-friendly configuration. Operating it via the rotary control is straightforward.

Installation? Not necessary!

Say goodbye to fiddling with cables—all antennas are fully integrated into the housing. Our patent-pending FLARM antenna, developed and optimized using advanced numerical engineering methods, provides excellent range in all directions. Standard reception for ADS-B (1090 MHz) is included. Thanks to its compact design and low weight, PowerFLARM Flex can be mounted flexibly – either directly on the instrument panel or simply on the canopy using a suction cup mount.

Full Autonomy

Experience complete flexibility with the PowerFLARM Flex: A Li-ion battery in the standard 18650 format (not included) provides up to 10 hours of runtime and can even be changed during flight. The device can be conveniently charged using a 5 V USB-C charger or a 12 V power supply, or operated without a battery. Particularly practical for clubs and frequent flyers: Thanks to profile management, up to 10 aircraft can be stored. This means that the PowerFLARM Flex can be ready for use in different cockpits in no time at all. Integration into many EFB and navigation solutions is easy via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth LE.

The Perfect Replacement for Classic

PowerFLARM Flex is uniquely suited to upgrade old F5 and F6 Classic installations. It’s only slightly larger, shares the familiar RJ-45 socket, but offers much more functionality and significantly better range.

Everything, Better.

PowerFLARM Flex comes with a range of software improvements. InstaCARP is our new method of measuring range performance, providing results within minutes of flight. The 1090 MHz receiver now also supports Mode-C signals. Our completely overhauled flight recording system uses a dedicated crypto chip for impenetrable security (IGC certification pending).
