PJ, thanks.
In my experience, far too many crews did not know how to use radar and did not even understand what the returns really meant. Rather than spending money on automating the radar-return process, a better bang-for-buck is teaching crews how to use radar correctly but that's tactical approach and doesn't add to business's bottom line or share price.
1. Isn't it cheaper to do than buy more expensive new kit?
2. Isn't there a motivation, a cultural norm within the pilot community, to know what the kit does? I guess something you are touching on is how to formalize the passing on of lore, rather than the informal "learn on the job" that many pilots are familiar with.
Can't there be a mix of both? Does this all have to be "either or" in terms of getting to know one's machine?
