A
Yes
9
Q
What will inhibit Stormscope stikes from being overlaid on the KMD Map display?
A
Invalid heading information
10
Q
How do you clear discharge points on the KMD 850?
A
Move the joystick
11
Q
Regarding discharge points, what is indicative of a thunderstorm building and dissipating?
A
Building - discharge points reappear faster and in larger numbers
Dissipating - discharge points reappear slower and in smaller numbers
12
Q
What is the primary difference between Strike Mode and Cell Mode on the Stormscope?
A
Strike Mode displays all lightning strikes with an “x” within the selected view. It is most useful during light electrical activity to potentially identify a building thunderstorm faster than Cell Mode.
Cell Mode will only plot strikes with a “+” and which are associated with a cluster of other strikes as well as strikes within 25nm of the aircraft. It is most useful during periods of heavy electrical activity and will indicate the areas in which cells are present.
13
Q
How can the flight plan be overlaid on the KMD WX page?

A
No
24
Q
What is the STBY function on the RDR2000?
A
It fully energizes the radar but does not emit radar transmissions. The antenna is parked at 0 degrees.
25
How is a successful test of the RDR2000 displayed?
To test, select TST and tilt up 7 degrees. The test pattern displays all colours along the arc as the small ripple moves along the outer edge in the 80nm range.
Returns should be evident if the radar is selected ON and aimed at obstacles...
26
Is the RDR2000 active in ON and LOG modes?
It is always active in ON unless a strut switch is fitted. It will be active in LOG mode if it is not interfaced with a graphics unit.
27
What does RADAR stand for?
RAdio Detecting And Ranging
28
In the RDR2000 how is a target alert indicated?
Two red arcs at the top of the screen. It only functions in Wx/WxA from 80nm-240nm.
29
What can cause altitude rings on the RDR 2000?
The shape and physical condition of the nose cone can reflect side lobes down to the ground which are then received by the radar. These will occur at approximately Inm per 6000' of altitude.
30
What are the four radar returns indicative of hail?
Hooks, fingers, scalloped edges and U-shaped edges.
They appear suddenly, along any edge of the storm and change in intensity in a matter of seconds.
Weak or fuzzy projections are not normally associated with hail.
Any ragged edges, steep gradients or rapid changes in shape or intensity will contain severe turbulence.
31
How should the RDR 200 tilt be managed to optimise weather targets?
In the 40/80nm range, adjust the tilt to fill the display with ground return.
tilt up until the outer third of the display is ground return.
If a return continues strong into the lower thirds of the display it is a hazardous storm/s.
If shadows are detected behind strong returns then there is hazardous weather there too.
32
How is the Vertical Path mode operated on the RDR 2000?
Set the azimuth use the TRK buttons then select VP.
All symmetrical images represent ground return. Any asymmetrical images are weather returns.
33
How many degrees of tilt inaccuracy is satisfactory before the RDR 2000 should be serviced?
2 degrees from one side to the other. This can be checked scanning the ground return or via the STAB test.
34
When will the "STAB LMT" warning enunciate on the RDR 2000?
when the combined pitch and roll exceed 30 degrees. It will remain on until the attitude is restored to within limits.
35
How can the RDR 2000 Stabilisation be checked?
Select MAP - STAB OFF
Set 20NM
GAIN MAX
Fly straight and level
Tilt down to show ground return to the third range mark. If the inner ring is not parallel then the antenna bracket is not mounted correctly.
Turn STAB on. If the figure is lopsided then adjust with the ROLL TRIM using a screwdriver until it appears parallel.
Roll the aircraft and check again.
36
