Maybe better then nothing - for rough traffic overview, only an idea but take a look at https://adsbexchange.com/data/ Apple Watch App is also quite nice, would love a SkyDemon integration as a smart traffic backup in the regular "Radar" screen (used also for GDL-90 etc.) UI like the Apple Watch App shown at ADS-B Exchange ;-) stay healthy esp. Tim ;-) & keep up your fantastic work!

For the purpose of traffic avoidance (and display in the Traffic Radar screen), this needs to be real-time. How real-time would this adsbexchange data be?

Else maybe just an idea for the planning side, to get an idea of typical traffic and patterns in an area of interest to you during flight planning...

For immediate anti collision warning you need 40 seconds. Data feeds of i.e. certain N-reg is artificially delayed by 7 minutes due to the anti-terrorists act 9/11. So-called life feed raw on the land based net is usually several minutes behind, not taking into account the slow upload in aircraft. From low level microlight flying and internet traffic on experience shows the display on the map occurs usually after you would have been dead in case if. Long story short, the idea of using any consumer grade internet connection for real time application in anti collision is dead born. It only serves authorities global surveillance systems.

Second argument is kind of valid, but what is the information of a traffic pattern occupation 10 minutes old worth?
I would say, ehm ... nothing? Who other flight schools is longer 10 minutes in pattern ...

All you mentioned ist for sure clear - but it seems that did not see my idea of a backup or fallback - forget my idea - but it seems that you never saw ADS-B Exchange working on the Apple Watch in real time ;-) - and also as a nice backup in the traffic pattern for rough traffic there. (All positions i saw where near realtime and exact). Sorry for my idea but it was never meant as a real traffic avoidance solution. Only when airborne with minimal equipment. So please may try it for fun, but sorry for my idea, please forget my suggestion! Thanks take care & always happy landings... Thumbs up for Tim as always ;-)
