If doing an ARA approach...No Radar target On the Radar...no approach.
GPS waypoints are secondary when doing an ARA. Radar is primary.
Offset away from target at 1 1/2 miles ..you do not approach the target straight on.
Loose the target ...overshoot now..with a further turn away.
Get to ARA min range and not visual ..overshoot now with a further turn away.
In my experience You don't need to play with tilt once established inbound. Gain sometimes but not often.
I think you are wandering down the wrong trail here.
What caused this tragedy is a mystery.
They have recovered the "Black Box" so hopefully we will find out further info soon.
Most folks here just want our missing brothers back. I pray they are recovered soon.
You admit to having no experience using a WX radar in GMap or any other mode so why are you speculating about it.
Not being mean ..just frustrated with a lot of the rumours, innuendo and hearsay flying around here in the last couple of days.
Please remember that there are bereaved family and friends looking at this thread, also be aware of the ever sensationalistic supposed "Gentlemen of the Press" looking for something interesting to print.
