Mind you if the towplane installed UAT, Flarm won't see the ADS-B.
That's for the towplane flarm. My understanding is that this towplane doesn't have flarm, it has ADS-B out. Flarm might be smart enough not to consider a towplane going the same direction 200 ft ahead as a threat, but would not know anything about an ADS-B target. Perhaps this is a request we need to make of the Flarm people - if you could add an ICAO address to the Flarm net data base, Flarm could ID the towplane and do the right thing.
