WEATHER RADAR
The weather radar included with 737 Pilot in
Command is based on the real Collins WXR2100.
The most important is to locate hazardous
weather areas, and avoid them. This system is
able to show the pilot where dense precipitation is
located and turbulence is expected.
In an aviation based weather radar, only water
TOGA SWITCH (Take Off Go Around) and wet hail produces reflections. Only the clouds
located at the aircraft level can be displayed.
Colors code :
Green => Light precipitations
Yellow => Moderate precipitations
PEDESTAL - LATEST FEATURES Red => Severe precipitations
Colors code :
dark magenta => Moderate turbulences
intense magenta => Severe turbulences
