NineLives 4 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I run REX weather and cannot get any weather showing but I can get the Terrain when button pressed. Terrain button not pressed and no weather shows (I have the brightness set correctly and the switches as they should be). However...... when on the ground and the scan is in manual mode I do get some weather markings on the ND but as soon as I leave the ground these suddenly disappear and I am left with the standard black ND. So my question is - should I see weather on a dry cloudy day with no rain or should I see some weather radar even on a dry cloudy day? Does the weather radar only show rain? Thanks.

Emi 5161 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi, you got it already, the WXR only shows rain, not clouds. (if a pilot wants to see clouds he can look out of his window...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted October 7, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 7, 2014 If you want to get a better understanding of the weather radar I would recommend reading the manufacturers manual of it. It does not only teaches you about all the buttons but also about the system itself with all relevant background information: http://www.smartcockpit.com/download.php?path=docs&file=Collins_WXR-2100_Operators_Guide.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the document does no longer seem to be available (at least for me). Could you confirm that this link is still valid? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
