Additional information such as name, aircraft type or registration can be added as well. With FlarmNet-compatible devices you can see all the submitted information to the corresponding FLARM®-Radio-ID. This means you can see who is flying other aircraft, on which radio frequency he usually is and even more - all directly in the air in your cockpit. FlarmNet compatible devices are available from many different manufacturers."

Personal data of other people in times of GDPDR on my device? No, the minute Skydemon incorporates such a database I am no longer a user.

Is that it? If so, I do not see a great benefit for our pilots, but stand to be corrected.
