BITE Test of the Weather Radar
WARNING:
OBEY THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN THE WEATHER RADAR IS IN OPERATION. MAKE SURE THAT:
- ALL PERSONS ARE MORE THAN 5 METERS (16.4 FT) AWAY FROM THE ANTENNA.
- NO PERSON IS IN THE AREA MADE BY AN ARC OF 135 DEG. ON EACH SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT CENTERLINE.
- THERE IS A MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCE OF 60 METERS (200FT) BETWEEN THE ANTENNA AND ALL REFUELING OPERATIONS.
- THERE IS A MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCE OF 5 METERS (16.4 FT) BETWEEN THE AIRCRAFT AND ANY OBSTACLE IN THE AREA MADE BY AN ARC OF 90 DEG. ON EACH SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT CENTERLINE.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT:
- THERE ARE NO PERSONS OR OBSTACLES IN THE RADOME AREA.
- THE CAPT AND F/O DISPLAY SELECTOR SWITCHES ON THE WEATHER RADAR CONTROL UNIT ARE SET TO OFF (THIS PREVENTS SYSTEM EMISSIONS ON THE GROUND).
NOTE: If the avionics ventilation is incorrect, the radar images are not shown to prevent overheat of the NDs.
