PRELIMINARY Garmin G5000 ™ Pilot’s Guide (Preliminary)335 HAZARD AVOIDANCE PRELIMINARY GARMIN G5000 ™ PILOT’S GUIDE INCLUDING THE GARMIN GWX 70 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR The following contents have been extracted from a draft Garmin G5000 Pilot’s Guide. This excerpt describes pilot operation of the Garmin GWX 70 Airborne Color Weather Radar. This information is preliminary and is subject to change. GWX 70 Prelim.indd 3357/25/2012 3:14:44 PM PRELIMINARY Garmin G5000 ™ Pilot’s Guide (Preliminary) 336 HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.3 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Garmin GWX 70 Airborne Color Weather Radar is a solid-state doppler radar with forty watts of output power. It combines excellent range and adjustable scanning profiles with high-definition target displays. The effective pulse length is 27.31 microseconds (μs), and the system optimizes the pulse length to maximize resolution at each range setting. This reduces the targets smearing together on the displays for better target definition at close range. The aircraft uses a phased array antenna that is fully stabilized to accommodate 30º of pitch and roll. To focus radar scanning on specific areas, Sector Scanning offers pilot-adjustable horizontal scan angles of 20º, 40º, 60º, or 90º. A vertical scanning function helps to analyze storm tops, gradients, and cell buildup activity at various altitudes. Radar features include: • Extended Sensitivity Time Constant (STC) logic that automatically correlates distance of the return echo with intensity, so cells do not suddenly appear to get larger as they get closer. • Turbulence Detection presents areas of turbulence associated with precipitation using the color magenta. • WATCH ® (Weather ATtenuated Color Highlight) helps identify possible shadowing effects of short-range cell activity, identifying areas where radar return signals are weakened or attenuated by intense precipitation (or large areas of lesser precipitation) and may not fully reflect the weather behind a storm. • Weather Alert that looks ahead for intense cell activity in the 80-320 nm range, even if these ranges are not being monitored. • Altitude-Compensated Tilt (ACT) management which automatically adjusts the antenna tilt as the aircraft altitude changes. • Ground Clutter Suppression (GCS) removes ground clutter from the displays. PRINCIPLES OF AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR The term RADAR is an acronym for RAdio Detecting And Ranging. Pulsed radar locates targets by transmitting a microwave pulse beam that, upon encountering a target, is reflected back to the radar receiver as a return echo. The microwave pulses are focused and radiated by the antenna, with the most intense energy in the center of the beam and decreasing intensity near the edge. The same antenna is used for both transmitting and receiving. Radar detection is a two-way process that requires 12.36 μs for the transmitted microwave pulses to travel out and back for each nautical mile of target range. It takes 123.6 μs for a transmitted pulse to make the round trip if a target is ten nautical miles away. The GWX 70, has the capability to detect the velocity of precipitation moving toward or away from the radar antenna. As the radar pulse beam strikes a moving object, the frequency of the returned echo shifts in relation to the speed at which the object is moving. This effect is analogous to the audibile pitch change observed when an emergency vehicle’s siren gets closer and then moves further away. Doppler radar employs this effect to detect areas of precipitation moving at a high rate of speed (indicative of turbulence), and to determine when an object, such as the ground, is stationary. This information can be used to suppress ground clutter. Airborne weather radar should be used to avoid severe weather, not for penetrating severe weather. The decision to fly into an area of radar targets depends on target intensity, spacing between the targets, aircraft GWX 70 Prelim.indd 3367/25/2012 3:14:44 PM PRELIMINARY Garmin G5000 ™ Pilot’s Guide (Preliminary)337 HAZARD AVOIDANCE capabilities, and pilot experience. Airborne weather radar detects rain or hail, not clouds or mist. The display may indicate clear areas between intense returns, but this does not necessarily mean it is safe to fly between them. In addition, Doppler radar measurement of precipitation velocity only occurs when rain or hail is moving along the radar beam and either toward or away from the antenna. The system cannot detect Clear Air Turbulence as there are no radar echoes to process. Airborne weather radar has other capabilities beyond weather detection. It also has the ability to detect and provide distance to cities, mountains, coastlines, rivers, lakes, and oceans. NEXRAD AND AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR Both Airborne Weather Radar and NEXRAD measure weather reflectivity in decibels (dB). A decibel is a logarithmic expression of the ratio of two quantities. Airborne Weather Radar measures the ratio of power against the gain of the antenna, while NEXRAD measures the energy reflected back to the radar, or the radar reflectivity ratio. Both systems use colors to identify the different echo intensities, but the colors are not interchangeable. Airborne color radar values used by Garmin Airborne Color Weather Radar should not be confused with NEXRAD radar values. ANTENNA BEAM ILLUMINATION The radar beam is much like the beam of a spotlight. The further the beam travels, the wider it becomes. The radar is only capable of seeing what is inside the boundaries of the beam. The figure below depicts a radar beam’s characteristics. The figure illustrates vertical dimensions of the radar beam, although the same holds true for the horizontal dimensions. In other words, the beam is as wide as it is tall. Note that it is possible to miss areas of precipitation on the radar display because of the antenna tilt setting. With the antenna tilt set to zero in this illustration, the beam overshoots the precipitation a…
