ABSTRACT
Figure 20.6(b) Typical weather radar control panel
allows each pilot to select the range of weather
radar in increments of 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320
miles.
The electronic display is overlaid onto the map
mode allowing the pilot to relate the aircraft’s
heading with the weather images. These images
are colour coded to allow the pilot to assess the
severity of weather conditions. Colours (ranging
from black, green, yellow, red and magenta) are
used to indicate rainfall rates that can be
interpreted as a level of turbulence.
