What is the difference between a radar altimeter and a barometric altimeter?
Radar altimeter gets altitude information by bouncing a radio wave off the surface of the Earth and determines the aircrafts altitude by measuring the length of time it takes for the signal to return. Barometric altimeters get altitude information by measuring the barometric air pressure outside the aircraft. Barometric pressure decreases as altitude increases. Radar altimeters will give altitude above ground level while barometric altimeters give altitude above sea level.
What is the difference between radar identification and radar contact?
Radar identified refers to your aircraft's position presented on a ground based radar screen and by using a squawk code in the aircraft which corresponds to the ground based station your aircraft is then identified. Radar control refers to an aircraft already identified on the radar screen and flying in controlled airspace under an IFR flight plan and the ground based station would provide heading, speed and altitude you should fly at.
What do radar engineers make?
A radar engineer works with radar. They have design, develop, install, and test a radar.
What are the advantages of radar range over radar bearing?
Radar range is the distance of the object from the radar. Radar bearing is the direction of the object in relation to the radar. As radar is primarily used for ranging, the range information may be more important than the bearing.
Is fmcw radar a doppler radar?
An FMCW radar may make use of Doppler, but it doesn't necessarily.

What is the meaning of altitude hole?
The blank area at the center of a radial radar display.
How do I Avoid the fines of a photo radar ticket?
YOU DONT PURE AND SIMPLE!
What is raddar?
Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects
Is the sr71 blackbird stleth?
No it just flew very high to avoid radar.
an aircraft descends 150m from an altitude of 650m to avoid turbulence. The plane ascends 830m after the descent. at what altitude is the plane flying?
1330m
What do you call the height above sea level point on the earths surface?
It is called altitude. It is typically expressed as ASL (above mean sea level, or MSL). However, it can also be specified as AGL (Above the local Ground Level).
How can I avoid getting high altitude sickness?
To avoid high altitude sickness, drink plenty of water, consider taking an iron supplement prior to your trip, and be careful not to over-exert yourself. Being realistic about your own capabilities is the most important way to protect your health in the high altitude.

The minimum altitude required for a satellite to avoid significant aerodynamic drag is?
200 miles(:
Application of radar in airplanes?
The main application is to avoid bad weather. Modern weather Radar can see through the clouds and locate the cell of the thunderstorm. This allows the passenger airliner to avoid the bad weather, thus allowing his passengers to enjoy their ride, and allow them to get to their destination on time.
How did radar change the face of warfare?
Well it does things like lead to the stealth technology and to weapons that are geared to track back and destroy the radar installations. There are also techniques that have been developed to avoid radar like ground hugging flights and all the jamming devices. Then there are the E3 style planes that track an area and the skies that never existed before radar.
