TILT ADJUSTMENT

• Push IN the Auto Knob so the Tilt

Adjustment is in Manual.

• Set the display distance on the

screen to a value that you can

see the return  at .001 value.

   * example: FLYING AT FL240 adjust

the return on the screen with the tilt

knob so  you see the ground return

at 24 miles.

• Look at what the tilt value is.

• Adjust the tilt knob UP 4°

(½ the beam width).

   * example: if it's showing -3, set

the tilt  to +1.

This will put the beam horizontal from

the flight path and pointing up 8° to

show weather at and above the flight

path.

Technique:

During Level Flight - Leave the tilt in

manual.  During Climb or Descent, pull

the knob out so it's in the auto mode

and will display the weather more

accurately.
