down here in Africa we sometimes leave the radar on for t/o, for the purpose of scaring away the birdies...

question: what is the angle at which the radar on a C208 and F406 would indicate or scan on a level plane ahead? of course assuming that the a/c is flying stright and level.....it seems that about 5.5 to 6.5 degrees generates a scan like that

is this a function of the angle of incidence and the way the tx/rx is mounted ?

thanks
