Weather Radar in Cavok Condition?
Hello guys,
I Would like to have your opinion about it. I'm honestly shocked that some arlines request the cockpit crew to keep the weather radar ON for every flight regardless of the weather condition?! Why would you keep a device suffering from wear and tear when you have clear skies and thus obviously not required?
I'm flying on the A320 and Airbus clearly mentions to use it "as required". Luckily the airline I work for follows Airbus SOP in that aspect. I'm not an engineer, but I believe having a microwave running under your balls all the times can't be great for the crew and definetely not for the radar mechanism itself.
Thank you.
