9.5 AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR
The GWX 68 Airborne Weather Radar System provides
weather detection and ground mapping capability. The
primary function of the weather radar system is to find
storms along the flight path. Weather detection gives
the crew the ability to recognize potentially dangerous
thunderstorm cells.
The GWX 68 weather radar system also provides
ground mapping, giving the ability to distinguish
landscape features and bodies of water.
Weather radar return strength is shown in five different
colors to show intensities of rainfall (black, green, yellow,
red, and magenta).
