SE2 and SD traffic warnings

Group: Forum Members Posts: 343, Visits: 2.5K	The last time I flew with SE2 I went to a fairly busy airfield so was keeping a good visual lookout in the circuit and listening to SD audio traffic warnings. I think it may be helpful if the order of the audio traffic warning information was in a different order. At the moment the altitude of the "target" aircraft is announced last along with info if climbing, descending or level. I had to listen to all the other info first before being able to decide if it is a likely threat or not. If the warning info was re-ordered then SD users wouldn't have to listen to the whole warning before deciding if avoiding action was necessary. Suggest the order is something like this: Altitude (climbing/descending/level), position, crossing direction etc. Tony

The tried and tested method has served us well for many years and there is really no need to change it. My thinking is that ATC knows the height of conflicting target from their radar display and can see what is likely to happen. So, probably announces the avoidance information in a certain order to suit the risk. When having to wait for the full SD audio announcement in order to determine the risk level of the conflicting target, my suggestion was to have, in my opinion, the most important information first. That is, the height of the conflicting target first and whether level, climbing or descending. However, I take your point about keeping things like ATC does it. Thanks Tony
