November 13, 200520 yr Where is the radar altimeter in the ATR? I know about the normal and the standby altimeter, but I can find no mention of the radar altimeter in the ATR manual. My FO has reminded me to set it on both flights but I guess I don't know where to find and set it.
November 13, 200520 yr Hi BillYou don't set the radar altimeter - I was also confused by this at first - What your FO needs you to do is to set your DH (Also refered to as Radar Decision height), the conprol is located on your EFIS Control panel.:) Cheers -Lars
November 13, 200520 yr Ohh...so that's where it is. Okay...makes sense. Now my F/O will be much happier next flight.Tim Timothy D. Herman (midcon385) KMDT -- Harrisburg Int'l Airport, PA
November 13, 200520 yr I had the same problem locating the knob to set the DH myself, the RA only appears on the PFD below 2500' I noticed (or may be 2000)Cheershttp://members.chello.nl/t.westnutt/realair.gif
November 14, 200520 yr Author Thanks, Lars. I was going nuts trying to find the radar altimeter. I was about ready to look in the lavatory.
November 14, 200520 yr >I was about ready to look in the lavatoryLOL, that might be an idea for an update.:-lol I'm glad it solved your problem. Cheers -Lars
