I noticed that in the latest release of Skydemon Powerflarm is integrated. How does this work? I searched the forum but could not find a thread about the latest feature.

What device do you need to buy (e.g. http://www.air-store.eu/lshop,showdetail,137190630631367,en,1371906337-2700,kollisionswarnung.powerflarm.geraete.powerflarm_portable,1.3.3.0001,6,0,.htm)?

Are these devices really that expensive?

How do you connect it? Bluetooth?

Hi,

most suitable is a "PowerFlarm core" Box (similar box also available from Garrecht avionics). Further more there is a portable solution but you have to find a place for this in/on your panel.

This device then could be connected to your transponder (if capable) to have ADS-B out. STCs are available for most "light" aircrafts. Further more you could use capabilities of your own avionics (e.g. GNS 430, etc.) to display traffic on this device, depending on local regulations in GB. I am from Germany and there it is possible to push that data to a GNS 430 (for example) as long as the aircraft is VFR regulated. Otherwise it depends on technical examiner whether he regards the "displaying" device as important for saftey inflight/landing procedures.

The butterfly connect simply transports serial data to Wifi. It enables you to connect your tablet to the powerflarm (as well as to other devices with serial output) and makes skydemon access the relavant traffic data. Without butterly connect you can only use traffic information on fix mounted display (as your avionic which is already in place or a seperate display from butterfly).

Cheers,
Oliver
