Weather Radar Aviation - [How Can You Use The Weather Radar During The Cruise].

In today's video, I talked about the weather radar of Your Aircraft and, how you can use it in order to avoid the bad weather during the cruise!
This is PART 3 of a series of three videos where you can learn how you can handle the bad weather.
If you watch the video until the end you will know what things you have to take into consideration when you encounter bad weather along your route.
The most important thing is to know how to read the weather radar returns.
The green returns indicate light rain, the amber returns indicate moderate rain and, the red ones indicate heavy rain, Also you can find magenta returns that indicate balance.
When avoiding the weather you have mainly three options, 1 climb above, 2 avoid it by turning to the right and 3 avoid the weather by turning to the left.
If the weather radar returns of your aircraft are at low altitude and you are capable to climb the best option, in this case, is to climb above, however, if the weather radar returns indicate that the CB is along your route and you are already at high altitude than you must avoid the weather by turning left or right.

Comment below with your questions and thoughts!! Have a great day

[@shrik1234567]

Sir , please make one video on RNAV ,RNP & PBN . Now a days Airlines are asking these questions in interview.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

I'll take your suggestion into consideration for a future content

[@SaurabhKumar-hr7fn]

Thanks for the video. Could you make a video on how to use the manual tilt and how to determine the weather top?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

You are very welcome!? I'll take your suggestion into consideration for a future content!

I heard that determing precipitation’s separation by manual tilt includes:
1) setting tilt to see exact edge of precipitations (above or below depending of clouds and flight phase) - after weather depiction and switching from auto to manual mode you simply adjust tilt from angle of flightpath (could be approximately +3,+2,+1,0 etc.) to see just and exact edge of precips.
2) calculations (angle of tilt [degrees] x one hundred x depiction distance [nautical miles] = separation [feet]) gives you approximately altitudes of separation from precipitation layers - positive or negative
An example - I see magenta top of thunderstorm cell, 80 nm ahead, til -1 degrees manual
(-1 x 100 x 80 = -8000) , so i have thunderstorm cell at least 8000 feet below me
when you approaching closer, repeat same calculations to ensure if this cell on 5000 feet below you - if you not see this cell with -1 tilt at 50 nm ahead on display, then this thunderstorm cell is below you ceparation limits and not a threat, so you can fly safely above it.

Well I guess I should be honest. I would have turned to the right to a heading of 350. I did not take into account the direction of the wind. I feel silly especially when the wind direction is in the upper left corner of the screen, I just did not think to look at it. Does this mean I failed my check ride with you? 🤣

[@PILOTCLIMB]

😂 I'm sure next time you have a CB in front you will check the wind 👌

[@karimgaffar]

I think i will climb and avoid it with 10 or 20 degrees to left for wx avoidance since the wind is blowing from the left
Correct me if i’m wrong thx

[@karimgaffar]

I have a question how do u know the clouds tops for example now IMC conditions & wx radar it ‘s giving you the wx infront of you how do you take a decision to climd to avoid it and you dont know their cloud/cbs heights

[@PILOTCLIMB]

That's great!! THe target is to avoid the weather upwind whenever possible!!

[@PILOTCLIMB]

The weather radar has the TILT which could be used to increse the degrees of the antenna and scan above or below your current altitude. By increasing the TILT angle you will be able to scan well above your position and know approximately what's the could top.
