Yes, ok, this method with "ignore / unignore" would work, but it is much to much head downtime in critical phases of flight.

My point was: aircraft following the own aircraft on constant distance should not cause multiple warnings. These warnings bother and dilute other warnings, that are really critical.

In the radar window tap on the glider you are towing and you’ll be presented a menu which gives you the opportunity to ignore all a/c or specific a/c.
After the glider has been released do the same procedure to ‘un-ignore’ it.

Dear all,
I am using SkyDemon with SkyEcho II, FLARM-license and iPhone as a traffic screen and I could not be happier with this setup. Works like a charm. Thank you very much.

There is only one issue that I like to report for consideration:
I am flying the tow-aircraft in a glider club and with SkyEcho II + FLARM I get a much better overview on where all these gliders are.
But the glider behind the tow aircraft is generating multiple traffic warnings like "glider behind, following, same level".
I do not want to silence these warnings, because the glider will soon be released and becomes a potential thread.

Is there a work around for this issue, that I have not found so far.

Or can it be considered not to warn, if a target is following constantly on "almost same distance and same level" or from ground onwards.

Or more in general: an aircraft behind the own aircraft should not be a potential thread unless it gets into the half-sphere from approximately 90° ... 150° right to left or has much higher speed so that it obviously caches up.

Thank you again and very best regards
Frank
