SkyView can receive traffic information from a variety of devices. These currently include the
SV-ADSB-470/472 (US only), TIS traffic (US only) supplied by the SV-XPNDR-261/262 or Garmin
GTX 330/330ES Transponders, passive traffic from the Zaon XRX, FLARM (predominantly in
Europe) and the NavWorx ADS-B receivers.
Traffic is displayed on the Map Page in the location that it is reported to be in by the connected
traffic device.
Traffic information is informational only, and does not relieve you-in-command of
their responsibility to see and avoid traffic.
Traffic is displayed as reported by the device sending it to SkyView. The precision
and accuracy of the location of traffic targets may vary from device to device, and
this may impact how accurately the position is represented on the SkyView display.
For example: TIS traffic updates, such as those received by the SV-XPNDR-261/262,
may be anywhere from 2-12 seconds old due to radar latency and other technical
factors. Be sure to understand the traffic-detection capabilities of your traffic
device thoroughly so you understand how to best interpret the position of the
traffic displayed on SkyView.
Useful information about the TIS traffic system, including airports that have TIS
service can be found in the FAA AIM:
