+### ADS-B Warning and Alert Messages (CPA Mode OFF)
+The ADS-B warning/alert system supports two operating modes, controlled by the parameter **osd_adsb_calculation_use_cpa** (ON or OFF).
+
+When **osd_adsb_calculation_use_cpa = OFF**, the system evaluates only the **current distance between the aircraft and the UAV**. The aircraft with the **shortest distance** is always selected for monitoring.
+
+- If the aircraft enters the **warning zone** (`adsb_distance_warning`), the corresponding **OSD element is displayed**.
+- If the aircraft enters the **alert zone** (`adsb_distance_alert`), the **OSD element starts blinking**, indicating a higher-priority alert.
+
+This mode therefore provides a simple proximity-based warning determined purely by real-time distance.
+
+---
+
+### ADS-B Warning and Alert Messages (CPA Mode ON)
+
+When **osd_adsb_calculation_use_cpa = ON**, the system evaluates aircraft using the **Closest Point of Approach (CPA)** and predicted trajectories, not only the current distance.
+
+1. **Aircraft already inside the alert zone**  
+   If one or more aircraft are currently inside the **alert zone** (`adsb_distance_alert`), the **closest aircraft** to the UAV is selected and the **OSD element blinks**.
+
+2. **Aircraft in the warning zone, none predicted to enter the alert zone**  
+   If aircraft are present in the **warning zone** (`adsb_distance_warning`), but none of them are predicted to enter the **alert zone** (their CPA distance is greater than `adsb_distance_alert`), the **closest aircraft to the UAV** is selected and the **OSD element remains steady** (no blinking).
+
+3. **Aircraft in the warning zone, one predicted to enter the alert zone**  
+   If at least one aircraft in the **warning zone** is predicted to enter the **alert zone**, that aircraft is selected and the **OSD element blinks**.
+
+4. **Aircraft in the warning zone, multiple predicted to enter the alert zone**  
+   If multiple aircraft are predicted to enter the **alert zone**, the system selects the aircraft that will **reach the alert zone first**, and the **OSD element blinks**.

-This is a cheap flight controller (prices range from $16US to $40US) from an unknown company. Many of the components on this FC are likely to have high tollerances due to the low cost. They sold this FC as compatible with INAV without reaching out to the team or having an official target made. The target only exists thanks to a community contributor (dixi83).
+This is a budget-friendly flight controller. Component tolerances and quality control may vary compared with higher-cost hardware, so users should test critical functions carefully before flying. The board has been advertised as INAV-compatible, but it was not originally submitted through the official INAV target process; current support exists thanks to community work, especially the contribution from dixi83.

 > [!WARNING]
-> We recommend you only use this flight controller on very light aircraft that you will keep within line-of-sight distances. Reliability of the hardware is far from guaranteed. So fitting to a larger, heavier aircraft adds unneccesary safety risks. Also, there are essential features missing for other types of flights. Please keep this for small park fliers only, if used at all.
