Radar altimeter

Featured Replies

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.

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

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

Thanks, Lars. I was going nuts trying to find the radar altimeter. I was about ready to look in the lavatory.

>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
