In summary, how effective is the SafeSky app?
"Our conclusion after our flights with SafeSky: as of now, we will always use the app. It provides a background warning, works with several of the navigation apps we use, and completes the cockpit's other collision notifications. The idea is interesting, especially when used with portable collision warning systems. These systems receive direct signals from ADS-B and sometimes FLARM, while SafeSky supplements Mode S transponders without ADS-B functionality, which nonetheless account for a significant portion of traffic."
