Flytec will be releasing a new mandatory firmware update for their FLARM collision avoidance system in March 2015.
Flytec say that applying this update to all FLARM devices is crucial – devices which are not updated will stop operating after 31 March 2015.
It includes safety features that increase the effectiveness and robustness of collision warnings, further decreasing nuisance alarms, for example by taking into account wind.
It also includes new features to alert about temporary danger areas such as skydiver drop zones, RC plane- and UAV zones.
