AN/APN-141 Radar Altimeter
The AN/APN-141 radar altimeter employs the
pulse radar technique to furnish accurate
instantaneous altitude information to the pilot from
0 to 5000 feet terrain clearance.
Aircraft height is determined by measuring the
elapsed transit time of a radar pulse, which is
converted directly to altitude in feet and displayed
on the cockpit indicator.
The indicator dial face is marked in 10-foot
increments up to 200 feet, 50-foot increments from
200 to 600 feet, 100-foot increments from 600 to
2000 feet, and 500-foot increments from 2000 to
5000 feet.
A control knob on the front of the indicator controls
power to the indicator and is used for setting the
low-limit indexer
