The mechanics of the weather radar and wind shear alert system. Doesnt the windshear alert use the weather radar? I am aware that some models use a l@ser system for windshear, I am just not positive about the connection between the 2 systems.
If the settings for the weather radar had been to look up, with the windshear system auto engage at 2500 feet, does this automatically reposition the dish?
The Predictive windshear is independent of the wx swith on the B737 NG.
It engages during take off when thrust levers are past the vertical position(wx radar on or off) and during descent when below 2300 AGL.
