The response to the CAA Consultation on Electronic Conspicuity CAP3268 needs to be completed before September 22 2026. This guides you through the process so that you can make your responses in your own words with your own thoughts.

A transcript of the CAA webinar has kindly been produced by Charlie Richardson who writes I attended this webinar and found it hard to follow at times. Consequently I created a tidied-up version of the transcript once it was issued and have shared this with various people to help them understand what was said and the questions and answers. The attached is my tidied-up version, which you are welcome to share if it is of any use. Here it is for those that didn’t attend.

Independent help in answering the CAA EC Mandate questions CAP3268.

Following the CAA publication of CAP 3217 PilotAware has significantly upgraded its PilotAware VECTOR presentation to help all GA pilots understand how good their EC is or is not, and do something about improving it.

The release by EASA of the ADS-L 4 SRD860 Issue 2 Specification is a major milestone towards greater integration of existing Electronic Conspicuity. Read here how PilotAware integrated it into its Ground infrastructure overnight and is working hard to be the first to integrate all airborne units to use the ADS-L Protocol. For you.

The future of Electronic Conspicuity is now being shaped at a European level - and PilotAware is ready.

PilotAware FX enhances your existing FLARM installation by adding long-range visibility, ADS-B, Mode-S/3D, PilotAware, CAP1391 and access to the full PilotAware Matrix (ATOM GRID, SkyGRID™ and iGRID). Together, they give you both close-in FLARM tactical awareness and powerful strategic awareness many kilometres ahead — all on your existing display.

FLARM and PilotAware announce a cooperation on technology integration and product development to deliver interoperable electronic conspicuity.

The all-new PilotAware Rosetta FX is great if you connect it to FLARM and great if you don't. This blog tells you what you get and what you don't get with each option.

Introducing PilotAware FX and its first application for FLARM users, and how it sits alongside the existing PilotAware Rosetta.
