Bottom line
Pilots should incorporate the traffic display in their normal traffic scan to provide awareness of nearby aircraft. In certain airspace, not all aircraft will be equipped with ADS-B Out or transponders and will not be visible on your ADS-B In display. Air traffic information equipment does not relieve a pilot’s regulatory responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.
