What you're seeing is traffic that's provided via non-certified ADSB receivers, uploading traffic to a website and then being fed into AvPlan and displayed to you on your iPad.
For this to be accurate, this assumes that:
- You have a reliable 4G connection
- There is an ADSB receiver in the area of the other aircraft
- There is no latency on any of those connections
- The FR24 is reliably showing the traffic and the feed is accurate before the ingestion into your EFB
Does it work? Yes.
Is it reliable and "safe" NO.
If you purchase one of these (or similar)
pingUSB - uAvionix Australia you are guaranteed reliable, real-time traffic with none of the issues listed above.
