Terrain-Following Radar
DEVICE INTEGRITY:
⚠ Cleanliness: Ensure the terrain following radar and
its wires are clean. Keep them away from chemicals
and dust to make sure they work correctly.
⚠ WARNING
OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS:
⚠ Operational Environment: The aircraft must
be operated in environments devoid of radio
interference. It is imperative that onboard antennas
remain unobstructed during all operational phases.
⚠ USB-C Port Protection: If the USB-C port is not
actively in use, the waterproof cover must be
securely attached to prevent potential water ingress
and subsequent short circuits.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS:
⚠ Variable Effectiveness: The radar's efficacy and
detection range are subject to variations based
on numerous factors. These include, but are not
limited to, the material, shape, location, form, and
size of obstacles such as trees. The aircraft's speed
and altitude further influence these parameters.
Detailed guidance on these variables can be found
in the aircraft's specifications.
⚠ Surface Integrity: It is imperative that the surface
of the dynamic radar remains uncontaminated to
ensure optimal functionality. Any deviations from
this can lead to operational abnormalities.
⚠ Manual Oversight: Despite the capabilities of the
dynamic radar and the XAG One APP, operators
must maintain vigilant control over the aircraft.
Relying solely on automated systems is strictly
discouraged. The aircraft must remain within the
Visual Line Of Sight (VLOS) at all times. In situations
demanding immediate intervention, operators
must exercise their discretion and assume manual
control to navigate around obstacles.
⚠ the aircraft's proximity to vegetation, ensuring
adherence to safety protocols.
⚠ Strict adherence to these directives is paramount
for the safe and efficient utilization of the Terrain
Following Radar.
⚠ WARNING
Radar Module
DETECTION PARAMETERS:
⚠ Detection Range: The dynamic radar is equipped
with a horizontal obstacle detection range spanning
±40° and a vertical range from +90° to -45°. It is
crucial to understand that the aircraft is blind
to obstacles outside this detection range. Such
scenarios necessitate heightened caution during
operations.
⚠ Specific Obstacle Concerns: The radar's
detection capabilities can be compromised when
encountering objects positioned at an inclined angle
relative to the aircraft's flight direction, such as
inclined lines or utility poles. Given that a significant
portion of the radar's electromagnetic waves may
be deflected in such scenarios, operators must
exercise heightened vigilance.
