What are the potential dangers of operating an Airborne Weather Radar (AWR) on the ground? Radiated energy can..
  • A
    harm human beings.
  • B
    disturb radio communications with ATC.
  • C
    disturb nearby airport navigation systems.
  • D
    cause misalignment of the aircraft’s Air Data and Inertial Reference System (ADIRS).

Avoid weather radar (AWR) operation when personnel are within the area normally enclosed by the aircraft nose radome. These radars can be the most dangerous critters in the cockpit. AWR work on super high freqencies (SHF) to do what they do and, without proper care, that energy can be hazardous to you and others around the airplane (i.e. tissues getting damaged).
