Cruise Above Fl200; Descent And Approach - Honeywell IntuVue RDR-4000 Pilot's Manual

IntuVue RDR-4000 Weather Radar Pilot's Guide

CRUISE ABOVE FL200

System Control: L or R (dual system) or NORM (single system)
•
Mode: AUTO
•
Gain: CAL or as required to assess threats. (Refer to GAIN
•
CONTROL on page 27 for 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 these
•
ranges Flight Path and Secondary Weather will become more
prominent and 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.
•
In areas where the REACT field is shown, expect the possibility of
•
weather that may need to be avoided (see page 17).
See PLANNING A PATH on page 42 for more information.

DESCENT AND APPROACH

System Control: L or R (dual system) or NORM (single system)
•
Mode: AUTO
•
Gain: CAL or as required to assess threats. (Refer to GAIN
•
CONTROL on page 27 for more details.)
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.
•
In areas where the REACT field is shown, expect the possibility of
•
weather that may need to be avoided (see page 17).
Start evaluating cells by 40 nm and finish by 20 nm.
•
Make your weather decision by the 20 nm point.
