What weather radar model on AF447?
MR8: "It is Airbus procedure to check the WX radar return on taxi out when switching on the WX radar....For TO the WX radar is set up at about 5 degrees and adjusted during climb."
This is for an analog radar. The new Honeywell RDR-4000 (option on A330) shouldn't require this. Can anyone post what model of WX Radar was on the AF447? If possible, post the source. I fly with a similar radar and I'm concerned with its accuracy at times.
