    Flarm Net

    FlarmNet is a community of users of FLARM®-compatible collision avoidance systems.

    FlarmNet is a database, in which people can enter their Flarm®-Radio-ID, an unique identifier stored in all FLARM®-compatible devices. Additional information such as name, aircraft type or registration can be added as well. With FlarmNet-compatible devices you can see all the submitted information to the corresponding FLARM®-Radio-ID. This means you can see who is flying other aircraft, on which radio frequency he usually is and even more - all directly in the air in your cockpit. FlarmNet compatible devices are available from many different manufacturers.
