3 Installation
General notes on installation
Installation and operation must be on the basis of non-interference with and no hazard to the existing suite of
other certified equipment necessary for safe flying operation, or installed to comply with official requirements.
Installation and operation must comply with official regulations and requirements. When FLARM-NAV is
permanently installed in an aircraft, the installation must comply with the 'Installation Policy' published by the
Australian Civil Aviation and Safety Authority (CASA), or the local agency in the country of operation.
FLARM-NAV should be mounted high up in an instrument panel in line with the pilots normally field of scan.
FLARM-NAV must not obstruct the piloting operation and in particular it must not hinder his field of view (do
not mount on top of the panel, additionally heat will also damage the unit). FLARM-NAV is not suited for use
in conjunction with night vision systems or night flying (no dimmers).
Location of the external speaker can be under the instrument panel hood or lip or behind the instrument
panel by drilling a small 3mm hole and gluing the speaker behind it thus allowing the audio to be heard.
As the unit fits a standard 57mm (2-1/4”) instrument hole, installation is simple, using the supplied drilling
information contained in this manual. The FLARM-NAV is inserted from the front and attached from the rear
via four securing screw posts.
If possible, FLARM-NAV should be so installed that the pilot will not inadvertently touch the push button
during cockpit ingress and egress.
Cables must not be folded or be under tension. The installation must allow adequate space for cable
connectors.
FLARM-NAV, the external FLARM device and radio antenna and the GPS antenna (optional – used for
MiniOz) should each be installed at least 10 cm away from the magnetic compass.
After installation, an appropriate entry should be made in the aircraft technical logs as to reflect an
installation performed under a “no interference, no hazard basis” as is the case for glide computers and PDA
displays, as well as other GPS devices. You as the installer must observe this rule. Additional tests under a
no interference basis might include the operation of the radio and a check that FLARM-NAV causes no
interference to its normal operation. Checks that other aircraft systems do not interfere with FLARM-NAV are
also needed. The best method is to fly with a friend at a distance around 2 kms, make sure all systems are
off ( i.e, other GPS, vario and glide computer), observe his lit target LED and maintain that distance. Turn on
each piece of equipment and note any change. Acceptable operation is one that is not affected by other
devices. Should a problem occur then consult our FAQ page.
