How can I get my Flarm-ID ?

You can get your Flarm™-ID in different ways:

- The easiest method is to upload an igc-file, which was logged by your Flarm™, on this site. Your Flarm™-ID will be filled into the form automatically.

- Connect your Flarm™ to a PC and read the Flarm™-ID with a terminal program. You can find out more here.

- If one of your friends has a Flarm™-Display, which displays the Flarm™-IDs of the received aircraft, you can put your aircraft next to your friends one and read your Flarm™-ID on his display.

Why does FlarmNet need my Flarm-ID?

FlarmNet stores your Flarm™-ID together with other informations about your aircraft in a database. Other FlarmNet users can copy this database to their FlarmNet compatible device, which let them see not only your Flarm™-ID, but also the other information you entered. This makes it possible to identify other aircraft, which helps to improve team flight and brings personality directly into your cockpit. 

Can I use FlarmNet at competitions ?

Currently there is no exact regulation on this issue. However, it is possible, that FlarmNet will be forbidden at some competitions. The manufacturers of FlarmNet compatible devices are aware of this situation and have prepared special functions for competitions, which disables FlarmNet functions if this is required by the regulations.

Am I always visible, if I register at FlarmNet ?

FlarmNet supports the stealth-mode, which is integrated in every Flarm™-device. FlarmNet authorized devices don't show any FlarmNet-data of aircraft with enabled stealth-mode. To make it short: Only who wants to be seen is displayed.
