ON MODE
Rotating the outer knob one more click clockwise to the ON position
causes the radar to begin actively transmitting and scanning. The radar
icon on the icon bar now indicates energy being transmitted by the radar
dish.
NOTE: Whenever the weather radar icon is shown as then the
radar is transmitting and appropriate precautions should be taken.
To better paint the storm we adjust the tilt angle by moving the joystick
up and down to the appropriate value as described by the weather radar
pilot’s guide. This example shows a tilt of 7 degrees down has been
selected. The tilt angle is shown in the top right corner of the display.
To determine what direction the storm cells are off the nose of the air-
plane we adjust location of the yellow track line by moving the joystick
left or right. This example shows the track line pointing to one of the
heaviest storm cells that is 45 degrees to the right. The track line angle is
shown at the top left corner of the display.
