Typical Tilt Settings by Phase of Flight
Intensity (in dBz)
23 dBZ to < 32 dBZ
32 dBZ to < 41 dBZ
60 - 80 NM Range setting is dependent upon
ground speed and time available for
deviations.
60 - 120 NM Range setting is dependent upon
ground speed and time available for
deviations. Tilt angle set to show
minimal ground clutter.
60 - 120 NM Range setting is dependent upon
ground speed and time available for
deviation.
40 - 60 NM Range setting is dependent upon
ground speed and time available
for deviation. Tilt angle set to show
ground clutter in outer 1/3 of radar
display.
20 NM These settings allow for observation
of the approach area and the missed
approach holding area.
Precipitation Rate (in/hr.)
< 23 dBZ
