Weather Radar
Hi everyone,
I understand there are many different weather radar systems on many different aircraft, however would like to know what the average beam width is across the different systems in particular the Collins radar beam width.
Assuming a 3 degree beam width and a tilt of - 2 degrees (or 2 degrees down) would this mean that the beam width is covering an area of .5 down to 3.5 degrees down (ie. 1.5 up and 1.5 down from the central position of -2 degrees).
Have researched the Collins radar system and instructional guide however nowhere does it discuss the radars beam width. Would appreciate it if anyone could tell me whether I'm on the right track.
