Any health risks of WX Radar on during flight...
Seeking Information;
Can anyone shed some light on the issue of the use of the WX RADAR.
As Pilots operating a flight, do we face any health risks or dangers if we happen to keep the wx radar on during whole flight. I have tried to find some answers but have been unable to find any directly related answers.
There are crew that claim that it causes unnecessary radiation to us as pilot in the cockpit. I find this hard to believe and would appreciate any useful informatio.
PS: in my previous airline in the middle east, it was an SOP to have WX Radar on during flight wheather in daylight or in night.
Thankyou
