Seeing a friend who flies near you

A friend flies a plane near yours. At first the station only hears the Remote ID of the plane. Your friend joins the MAVLink network, and the station joins the two sources into one marker. Your friend lands and switches off, and the marker goes dim.

  1. Ask the other pilot to be sending Remote ID. Then wait 5 seconds.

    The number of markers of other planes on the tactical map is 1. The label of the marker says RID.
