Narrative:A Piper PA-28-181 (HB-PRM) and a Diamond DA 42 (HB-SDM) were involved in a serious airprox incident at 1900 m altitude.
The pilot of the PA-28 visually identified the oncoming aircraft shortly before the point of minimum separation and initiated a short, steep descent, which defused the dangerous approach. The PowerFlarm collision warning that sounded immediately afterward occurred about 5 seconds before the point of minimum separation and was therefore of little help. This late warning was due to the system, since the PowerFlarm could only receive the HB-SDM's non-directional transponder signals and the HB-SDM was not equipped with a Flarm-compatible device.
Thanks to the vertical avoidance maneuvers of both aircraft, the vertical separation at the point of closest approach was about 300 ft. Without corrections to the vertical flight paths, the two aircraft would have crossed at approximately the same altitude.
