My Mav3 ADS-B software is occasionally picking up "ghost planes". They show up on the map screen, I get a warning then, a minute later they disappear, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

The airplane symbol on the map screen shows the plane moving, then it disappears. Why Does this occur?

Can you change your sensitivity level as it might be picking up planes 30,000 ft and than are out of your area,

The ADS-B option is under advanced settings under safety. It's at the bottom called "AIRSENSE". It only has one option, On or OFF.

Ok, Same setting my Classic M3 , on one of the drones they do have a Sensitivity rating , sadly its lacking on the M3 series.

On the map view, tap the plane icon. That is where the sensitivity options are. I do believe that ghost happens when a craft is at marginal range and the signal is perfectly aligned with the drone for a few seconds. Then the signal drops out as both craft move.

I've experienced this as well and your thoughts seem to make perfect sense.
