RDR-7000 OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS


Automatic control of antenna tilt for reduced pilot workload
No traditional tilt control.
o

3D (Three-Dimensional) Volumetric Memory
The entire area in front of aircraft is automatically scanned (out
o
to 320 nautical miles (nm) and from ground to 60,000 feet (ft)).
All weather information is stored and continuously updated.
o
Automatically corrects for curvature of the earth.
o
Pilots can choose among display options as desired.
o

Predictive Hail and Lightning Icons (if installed)
Areas ahead of the aircraft that have a high probability of
o
producing hail or lightning are indicated by the display of
appropriate icons.

REACT (Rain Echo Attenuation Compensation Technique)
Indicates areas where attenuation of the radar signal is severe
o
enough to degrade the ability to display weather behind
significant intervening weather.

Vertical Display (if supported by display system)
Indicates reflectivity along the flight plan or a selected azimuth
o

Weather/Turbulence Ahead Indication (if installed)
Annunciates situations where significant weather or turbulence
o
is detected ahead of the aircraft, but is not selected for display.

GMAP mode for identification of terrain features
Use GMAP mode for identifying prominent terrain features,
o
such as coastlines, lakes, and large built-up urban areas.

Internal TopographicalInformation
Used to remove ground clutter from weather displays and to
o
remove weather returns from the GMAP display.

More sensitive weather detection for more accurate weather
depiction
Improved long-range performance.
o
3D scanning detects more weather close to the aircraft as
o
compared to other weather radar systems.
