Re: ADS-B traffic warnings triggered by my own airplane.

I had the same thing happen to me last month, I was actually flying between Prescott and Sedona, and noticed traffic right behind me. of course it was my own plane. I have the ifly 700 with the sky radar S2 ADS-B receiver. This was using the version 6.5.

I never saw that again and have since updated with version 7.0 now.

I'm based at Sedona and I was flying in the same area when it happened to me, I'm running ver. 7.

I'm wondering if tech support will chime in on this?

I for one wouldn't mess with it.

Re: ADS-B traffic warnings triggered by my own airplane.

Maybe filtering out the same velocity and direction would work? Or just VMG to the target < X? You could make it an alternative to disabling alerts altogether. This could be an awesome feature, my passive TCAD (Monroy ATD300) has to be muted in formation. Next year ADS-B should be everywhere, this will become a problem to more users like me who buy these inexpensive ADS-B IN boxes coupled with and inexpensive display. I'm aware that the ultimate solution would be to get a full blown $3K+ ADS-B transceiver coupled with a more expensive display.

Hey Gang...

I too, experience the traffic warning of my own aircraft in flight.

At first I thought it was a Skyradar/AP720 problem, but my hangar mate has a Dynon Skyview with their built in ADS-B in/out transponder also gets the same warning/display on his aircraft.
