Fedex Radar Quiz

Question 1

Select the aircraft with the correct beam projection with the radar set to zero tilt?

Answer 1

Radar tilt angle is always relative to the horizon

Question 2

Why would terrain be displayed on the ND with the radar selected on?

Answer 2

Terrain is displayed automatically, and radar and windshear are inhibited, if the TERR ON ND pb is selected ON or a GPWS terrain warning occurs.

Question 3

Which color indicates turbulence?

Answer 3

Magenta

Question 4

In which ND mode is radar NOT displayed?

Answer 4

PLAN

Question 5

Can the radar system detect clear air turbulence?

Answer 5

No

Turbulence is only displayed within 40 NM of the aircraft and only when associated with precipitation.

Question 6

Regarding the predictive windshear feature: “The level of alert depends on the severity of the detected shear”

Why is this statement NOT ture?

Answer 6

The alert level depends on the windshear’s proximity and direction from the aircraft, and if the aircraft is airborne.

The alert levels are only differentiated by the position of the windshear relative to the aircraft, not the intensity of the shear.
