Cruise Above Fl200; Descent And Approach - Honeywell IntuVue RDR-7000 Pilot's Manual

IntuVueRDR-7000 Weather Radar Pilot's Guide

CRUISE ABOVE FL200


Mode: WX ALL or WX PATH

Turbulence: On

Hazard (if provided): On

REACT: On

Gain: AUTO or as required to assess threats. (Refer to GAIN
CONTROLon page 31for more details.)

Range: Pilot Flying – 20 to 80 nm, other side at least one range
higher.

Within 60 nm, sufficient resolution exists for evaluating cells. At
this point, On Path and Off Path weather will become more
prominent and WX MAN mode can be used for vertical analysis.

Avoid any magenta turbulence cells and monitor the display for
weather intensity to avoid any weather threats.

Avoid any cells associated with Hail or Lightning Icons (see
page 21).

In areas where the REACT field is shown, expect the possibility of
weather that may have to be avoided.

See PLANNING A PATH on page 48 for more information.

DESCENT AND APPROACH


Mode: WX ALL or WX PATH

Turbulence: On



REACT: On

PWS: On

Gain: AUTO or as required to assess threats. (Refer to GAIN

Range: Pilot Flying – 10 to 40 nm, other side at least one range
higher.

Avoid any magenta turbulence cells and monitor the display for
weather intensity to avoid any weather threats.

Avoid any cells associated with Hail or Lightning Icons (see
page 21).

In areas where the REACT field is shown, expect the possibility of
weather that may have to be avoided.

Start evaluating cells by 40 nm and finish by 20 nm.

Make your weather decision by the 20-nm point.
