The typical installation connects to a Remote PowerFLARM Display. Suitable cables providing power and data are delivered with the display. Working Principle Based on GPS and the pressure sensor, PowerFLARM predicts your short-term future flight path and continuously transmits this to nearby aircraft by a digital radio message. FLARM-compatible systems in nearby aircraft receive your radio message and send you a similar message with their data. With such you not only know the whereabouts of aircraft around you, your BRICK is also able to calculate conflicting flight patterns and alert you of such traffic on a suited display (FLARM functionality). PowerFLARM also receives data from aircraft with transponders (Mode C and S) or ADS-B OUT (1090ES), and uses these messages for traffic information and alerts (PCAS functionality). The effective range depends very much upon the position in which antennas are fitted and facilitates a warning, visual identification, and appropriate action by the pilots in both aircraft. FLARM-warnings are issued in accordance with the time remaining to a possible collision, not the geometric distance between the aircraft. The first warning is typically issued between 19 and 25 seconds in advance to the calculated possible collision with aircraft or obstacle (time to impact); the second is issued 14 to 18 seconds in advance, and the third 6 to 8 seconds in advance. Warnings are PowerFLARM BRICK-Manual 2.20 US 4 sustained as long as the threat remains as calculated. Depending upon the prediction, the threat may be downgraded or deleted. Warnings are selective, i.e. they are only issued if the calculation detects a high probability of a collision in the immediate future. In the future and with costs, PowerFLARM BRICK will also be able to alert you of known fixed obstacles stored in the unit's data base (optional functionality at cost), and store your entire flight in the common IGC-format for analysis and documentation. Installation General Advice on Installation Installation and operation is on a non-interference and non-hazard basis, and may not endanger the safe operation of certified equipment that is either necessary or required by regulation for safe flight. Installation must comply with official requirements. BRICK must not obstruct the pilot in his operation of the aircraft (including emergencies); in particular at all times it must not obstruct hi…

Page 1 of 1 Elliott TCB 41039 Boyce Road Fremont, CA, 94538 To whom it may concern: The enclosed documents constitute a formal submittal and application for Equipment Authorization for a 900 MHz frequency hopping spread spectrum radio pursuant to the following rules: Subpart C of Part 15 of FCC Rules (CFR 47), Intentional Radiators RSS-Gen Issue 3, December 2010, “General Requirements and Information for the Certification of Radiocommunication Equipment” RSS-210, Issue 8, December 2010, “Low-power Licence-exempt Radiocommunication Devices (All Frequency Bands): Category I Equipment” The device is exempt from the technical requirements for digital devices as it is used exclusively in vehicles (aircraft). Testing has been performed in accordance with FCC and Industry Canada requirements for transmitters operating under FCC 154.247 and RSS-210, Annex 8 and for receiver spurious emissions as detailed in FCC 15.109 and RSS-GEN. As the device is powered from the aircraft battery no AC conducted emissions tests were performed. Elliott Laboratories, as duly authorized agent prepared this submittal. A copy of the letter of our appointment as agent is included with the application. If there are any questions or if further information is needed, please contact Elliott Laboratories for assistance. Sincerely, Mark Hill Staff Engineer

Elliott TCB 41039 Boyce Road Fremont, CA. 94538 06/08/2011 Gentlemen: This is your letter of authorization to accept our appointment of Elliott Laboratories, Inc. as our Agent for Flarm Technology GmbH, Haldenstrasse 1, CH-6340 Baar, to sign applications before Elliott TCB and to make representations to you on our behalf. Elliott Laboratories, Inc. is to receive and exchange data between our company and Elliott TCB. I hereby certify on behalf of Flarm Technology GmbH, Haldenstrasse 1, CH-6340 Baar ("Applicant") that neither Applicant nor any party to the application (officers, directors, and 5% shareholders) is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. 21 U.S.C. 853a. Sincerely, Boris Andrea Schlapbach CFO FLARM Technology GmbH Haldenstrasse 1 CH-6340 Baar Tel +41 41 760 85 63 Fax +1 435 203 12 24 [email protected] www.flarm.com

June 20, 2012 Elliott TCB 41039 Boyce Road Fremont, CA. 94538 FCC ID: ZKUGC625162 Dear Examiner: I am writing to avoid the possibility of an inadvertent disclosure of proprietary information. The accompanying Form 731 is being filed with the commission on our behalf by Elliott Laboratories, Inc., a consulting and testing laboratory. Included as exhibits with the enclosed application are block diagrams, schematics, and a detailed description of the theory of operation of the device. It is our intention to provide Elliott TCB and the commission with a full disclosure of our product so that its merits can be evaluated. Indeed, we are pleased to provide any further information that the commission might wish to see. It is not our intention, however, to make our proprietary process a matter of public record. In view of the fact that the block diagrams, schematics, and associated theory of operation disclose the mechanism of our process, we ask that these portions (block diagrams, schematics, and theory of operation) of our application be withheld from public inspection as provided under FCC section 0.459. These documents contain details of the proprietary operation of product. These details are not readily discernible - even to technically sophisticated individuals - from our hardware and constitute trade secrets. We request therefore that these documents be segregated from the body of our evaluation report and withheld from public inspection. Thank you for your attention. Please let the undersigned know if Elliott TCB or the Commission disagrees with our position or requires further justification. Sincerely, Boris Andrea Schlapbach CFO FLARM Technology GmbH Lindenstrasse 4 CH-6340 Baar Tel +41 41 760 85 63 Fax +1 435 203 12 24 [email protected] www.flarm.com

EMC Test Data Client: Contact: Standard: Test Specific Details General Test Configuration N/A (see note) Calculation uses the free space transmission formula: S = (PG)/(4 πd 2 ) Where: S is power density (W/m 2 ), P is output power (W), G is antenna gain relative to isotropic, d is separation distance from the transmitting antenna (m). Summary of Results Device complies with Power Density requirements at 20cm separation: Maximum Permissible Exposure Objective: The objective of this test session is to perform final qualification testing of the EUT with respect to the specification listed above. Date of Test: 6/12/2012 Test Engineer: Mark Hill Urs Rothacher FCC Part 15.247 (FHSS)Class: N/A FlarmJob Number: J87484 Model: PowerFLARM Brick T-Log Number: T87614 Account Manager: Christine Krebill (see note) - No deviations were made from the requirements of the standard. The output power from the device is 36.3mW, which is below the threshold of 60/f(GHz) and therefore considered to comply with rf exposure requirements for both portable and mobile exposure conditions. The 60/f threshold at 900MHz is 65mW. If not, required separation distance (in cm): Modifications Made During Testing No modifications were made to the EUT during testing Deviations From The Standard 20cm separation: T87614.xlsRF ExposurePage 1 of 1
