WEaTHER RadaR oPERaTIoN
WaRNING:
Do not operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when personnel
or objects are within the MPEL boundary.
WaRNING:
Do not assume weather radar transmission is disabled unless all display
panes displaying weather radar are set to Standby Mode, and are displaying ‘STANDBY’
in the center of each weather radar display.
CaUTIoN:
In Standby mode, the antenna is parked at the center line. It is always a
good idea to ensure the radar is in Standby mode before taxiing the aircraft to prevent
the antenna from bouncing on the bottom stop and possibly causing damage to the
radar assembly.
