INSTALLATION and OPERATING MANUAL FLARM-NAV Display and Navigation System
Version 1.13 Page 3 of 25 January 2012
1 Welcome
Thank you for purchasing FLARM-NAV, a modern low-cost FLARM target display and basic navigation unit
for sailplanes and light aircraft. The main task for FLARM-NAV is to support the pilot, while the pilot scans
the airspace ahead with his own eyes. FLARM-NAV is simple to use and does not distract the pilot from the
main responsibility in hand.
Sport flying is an activity that is associated with considerable risks for crew, passengers, third parties and
other objects. In order to make full and safe use of FLARM-NAV, it is absolutely essential to be fully
aware of the risks, operating conditions, restrictions and limitations associated with the use of
FLARM-NAV. This includes familiarity with and observance of this Installation and User Manual.
We always welcome suggestions for the improvement of FLARM-NAV.

This unit is designed to operate with a FLARM compatible system. It has been tested on OzFLARM,
MiniOz, FLARM and LX FLARM. All these devices require regular software updates which are
available via the www.flarm.com website. These units will cease to function after February 2008 and
will require the mandatory software update
