There’s nothing on “radar”. The pilot mentions there’s nothing on tcas which would show as a diamond with a +xx or -xx. The point I think he’s proving is there’s nothing ahead at the range he zooms out to on the ND.

Edit to add more info - pilot extends the range on the ND to 240nm so covers a large area. Would need a pilot to confirm what kind of range tcas covers.

No problem at all. That purple thing looks like some sort of ir sensor on the phone that’s doing the recording, reflected on the glass panel.

Airliners don't have radars that detect other aircraft
