What do you set your wx radar to for take off & why ?
What tilt and range do you set your wx radar to for departure (let's assume there is cb's in the vicinity). What do your sop's mandate ?
My thinking is to set one side to a very high tilt I.e look up into the very local area to detect cb and storms that might present a windshear hazard. The other side (if your radar lets you do this) can be set to a lower tilt to look further along the departure route.
I was shouted down recently by someone who insisted it should be set and left at 5degree up (he had a 25 mile range display selected) so looking roughly at wx 10,000ft height at 25nm. In my aircraft, given an unrestricted climb, we'd be well above that at 25nm.
Anyway, curious to hear what others are doing.
