What does the Zaon do if two or more aircraft are within
range?


The Zaon will display the greatest threat. Should it determine that
there is a new threat than the one currently displayed, "-NEW-" will
be displayed for 2 seconds, followed by the new aircraft information.

It follows the rule "accidents can only occur at your altitude", so it
will display the aircraft with the least separation, however, vertical
trend is also used to prioritize when two aircrafts are converging and
both are within +-1000'.

EX: If you are descending and another aircraft is below (within
+-1000'), it will be the primary threat, even if another aircraft is
closer in range and/or relative altitude above you and level.
