Weather Radar on standby while taxying
I was taught many years ago never to put a serviceable weather radar to OFF while taxying as the antenna may get damaged due to the stabaliser being switched off. I always preach and practise this but I cannot find it in any literature . Googling doesn't help either! Does anyone of here know the source of this information( this was told to me by Eurocopter instructors). Nowadays we have to standby on the answers just in case some pilots like to switch off most non esseessential equipments after landing instead of waiting for the shutdown checks.
