I have always held the opinion that PilotAware should not report ground stations as traffic, because they are not traffic.There is a suggestion from the manufacturer of PilotAware that we ignore traffic marked as “static”, but that does not sit well with me, because I believe this is/was designed for things like static tethered balloons, which SkyDemon definitely needs to take into account when performing traffic warning calculations.The best thing would surely be for PilotAware to adopt its own option so the customer can control whether it sends ground stations across as pieces of traffic.
