ADSB out in tow planes

Those are all excellent points! Glad I asked the question.

You CAN display Flarm targets on an iPad, but it requires a specific installation. You will need an Air Connect interface and the iGlide software from Air Avionics. The Air Connect uses the RS-232 stream from the Flarm and sends it via WiFi to the iPad. On the iPad, iGlide will display all the targets that PowerFlarm can see, which will be Flarm equipped gliders and ADS-B traffic. You can also use iGlide for navigation as it is a full tactical computer with GPS moving map, airspace, etc. There is a variation of it called iPilot for GA aircraft, but I don't think it will connect to the Flarm.

Another app that will display Flarm on an iPad is Winpilot Live (still requires the Air Connect). Both apps are on the Apple app store. The Air Connect can be had from Craggy Aero, installation is simple on a PowerFlarm, one plug for power and data.

Yes, but to be clear, that can't display on Foreflight (a just *wonderful* GA app), which was the original question. And since he already has an Oudie and C302 I know what I'd be doing... adding a PowerFLARM and K6 Mux and possibly a Flarmview display.

Now if only SeeYou Mobile ran on an iPhone I'd care more using those (OK I said that just to annoy Jon). :-)

SeeYou mobil runs on an iPhone just about as usefully as it runs on an Oudie or an Android phone.

Your hatred of the superb Oudie continues to mystify me.

For anyone unclear about this, SeeYou Mobile is excellent soaring software. Its makers sell several versions of a hardware device which runs it, the Oudie, and it also runs on third party Window CE devices - all now old and obsolete. The makers have presumably chosen not to port it to Android because there are at least three versions of soaring software for Android which are free to use. Whether or not SYM is better than the free software, I don't expect pilots would choose it over the free options.

iGlide which Jon prefers probably has the easiest interface to learn at the expense of reduced flexibility.
