The amount of head down time required to develop any actionable information from present flarm radar screens is scary large. In fact I would argue that given only flarm/butterfly panel mount displays currently available we'll be safer with everyone in stealth mode simply because there will be less to look at on the panel and eyes may stay outside a little more. 3rd parties will solve the display problem even if Flarm doesn't, but the fact remains that radar in open mode shows you mostly targets that are not and will never become collision threats.

Evan,

I'm fully with you in that head-down time needs to be minimized.

Just for the record, another possibility to reduce the number of irrelevant
targets on the display is of course to reduce the respective horizontal and vertical ranges. Dangerous targets are not affected by the range setting.
