Radar Tab - BENDIXKing AeroNav 910 Pilot's Manual

RADAR TAB

Support for digital weather radars is an optional capability for the
AeroNav. When this option has been activated on an AeroNav, a
dedicated "RADAR" tab is present on the MAP page, and if the
AeroNav has access to heading data, radar data can also be a
selectable overlay on the moving map. The RADAR tab is designed
to replace an existing radar indicator.
NOTE
Use of Radar Requires Familiarity
Actual operation of the radar function depends on the
particular make and model of the installed radar. Make
sure you are familiar with the functionality and operation
of the radar system installed on your aircraft. See the
user's guide for your radar for details.
NOTE
On-Board Radar For Avoidance Only
Radar is intended to serve as a severe weather
avoidance tool only. Do not use the AeroNav radar
depiction to penetrate severe weather, thunderstorms,
cells, or lines of cells.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Pre-Takeoff Check
As part of your pre-takeoff check, check for proper
operation of your installed radar. While at a safe
distance from ground personnel and other aircraft,
briefly turn the radar on and tilt the antenna below zero
degrees. If the radar is working properly this will
produce ground reflections and verify the correct
operation of the transmitter/receiver and antenna tilt
functions.
