Proximity Alarm in Flight Control Cries Wolf :(
Does the proximity alert really need to display when the craft are nearby? I guess it adds another layer of challenge but I find it rather annoying and it sometimes leads me to ignore it when the planes really are about to crash.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi tomcoady, thanks for your post! Since it's a "proximity" alarm, that's really all it's telling you - there is another aircraft nearby. The idea is to attract your attention so that you can make a quick assessment based on the paths the two aircraft are travelling, and decide whether one or both need to be re-routed. It's not intended as a perfect prediction of collisions, so as you say it does add another level of challenge!

Inappropriate?OK thanks Alexandra. Actually I agree with you on reflection.
