If your tactical computer display has good depiction of Flarm and ADSB targets, I see no reason for the dedicated Flarm display. It is simply duplicating what is already in front of you. No extra panel space is necessary, though some space behind the panel is.


Sure there is. The nav computer map display is best set to show (roughly) what you can glide to. The Flarm & adsb targets you care about -- the close ones -- won't be resolvable.

2nd display solves that problem.

Again, if the display has a "good depiction of Flarm and ADSB targets", you don't need the Flarm display in my opinion. Close target are automatically made more noticeable, and very close targets are warned of with audio and graphics. This is *substantially* more obvious on my tactical display than on the Flarm display. A good tactical display will be context sensitive and take care of this for you. It really shouldn't be showing you all the places you can glide to, if you are about to hit a 737.
