The wording of SkyDemon traffic information is based firmly on well-established wording used by FIS operators. We've never changed it, and it's unlikely we would unless we started to receive lots of feedback that the current wording was inadequate. I particularly disagree with your suggestion that the altitude of the other aircraft should come before its position. How would that help the pilot immediately look in the correct direction? Let me know if you'd like this moved to Suggestions. Yes, please move to "suggestions" section. My thinking of the height info being first is that I can ignore the rest of the audio warning it if the warning is "500 ft below". Tony

I think it may be helpful if the order of the audio traffic warning information was in a different order. At the moment the altitude of the "target" aircraft is announced last along with info if climbing, descending or level. I had to listen to all the other info first before being able to decide if it is a likely threat or not. If the warning info was re-ordered then SD users wouldn't have to listen to the whole warning before deciding if avoiding action was necessary. Suggest the order is something like this: Altitude (climbing/descending/level), position, crossing direction etc. Tony
