Weather Radar Tutorial: How to Use It & How to Avoid Weather!

[@AviationPro]

Great real life example from Just Planes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnuQkmNpn7WEhK8 🏅 If you appreciated this content, please consider becoming a member!

Nevertheless, the end result is actually correct :)

[@ACW-2024]

Very simple lenguage, good voice, and the graphics were the best for me, thank you.

[@petemac7969]

Great job! I never really understood the workings of the weather radar on the PMDG. Your explanation will come in very handy for me. Thanks.

[@turbolenza35]

Hi, at 26:33, are those red/pink area what they call "OCNL EMBD CB" in SIGWX charts?

[@AviationPro]

Not per se, but yes they are often CB clouds with this shape.

[@miri6056]

This video is... AWESOME 👌🏼 Thank you for putting on the description in what minute can you find each section....!!

You’re welcome! 😊

[@salomaoensslin765]

This tutorial is really good. The explanation is very clear and simple enough to understand everything.

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@Carltheproducer]

this is a phenomenal solid instructional video about WX radar. THANK YOU!

[@GilbertoNovaes3]

Excellent Video. About the first example of Cloud Heights, I noticed you said -2° x 100 x 20NM = - 4.000ft. However when you do the first part calculation you say -2°x 100 = 2.000. The final calculation is right anyways but at the middle I think I missed something. Could you explain how did you find 2.000? Thank you So Much for this amazing video. You rock

[@AviationPro]

Thanks for watching! I think I meant to said 200 there instead of 2000. So the final figure is indeed 4000 ft :)

[@GilbertoNovaes3]

@@AviationPro I got it. I suppose your mind did the calculation adding the last 0 on “20” and then multiple by 2. Very very very nice video. I’ve never had a best explanation about weather radar. Thank you so much. It will be very useful for my IATRA exam

[@AviationPro]

[@MrSqueeze737]

Beautiful video, great explanation. I like how u took your time, it couldn’t get better mate. I myself I’m just starting my flying career and I’m lucky to be flying the 737NG in few weeks. My instructor sucks at explanation, had to look elsewhere. Great video. Cheers

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :)

[@kuermit256]

great video as the previous ones! is it ever possible in p3d to get in red echoes or to experience windshear near these echoes?

[@AviationPro]

Late reply, but thanks! Yes, I have had windshear in Prepar3D before with Active Sky.

[@shrik1234567]

Do we have a profile view on weather radar so we have an idea of vertical separation from the thunderstorm cell . If we have that then no deviation required as we can fly 5000 ft above the storm if it’s below us .

[@AviationPro]

Unfortunately not, at least not on Boeing airplanes. I think some Garmin systems may have vertical weather radar though, as you can see in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJXFo4ucpNmMoKc

[@shrik1234567]

@@AviationPro great ,it’s so so helpful , this vertical profile should be in all Boeing ,Airbus Airplanes. I guess it’s a subscription from garmin for this .

In my wx radar didn´t appear nothing, sipte of I configured the climate with thuderstorms and rain in the ground, and i did all you indicate in the explanation 😢😢😢😢😢 even i pushed all the buttons, Please could you help me ?

[@charliedontsurf5831]

nice job man, and although I'm not quite "allowed" to say that, thinking of all those not-use-for-real-life disclaimers, your videos are also quite applicable to refresh some summer flying related stuff such as cloud avoiding formulae etc. Backed up by some real life documents, of course. Keep it up!

[@flyboy747uk]

Can you just confirm the maths to determine cloud height. You are saying -2 x100=2000 x distance. -2 x100 is 200 not 2000 or am I doing something wrong with the maths? Great video learnt a lot from it. Thanks

[@AviationPro]

I might have said it wrong in the video. But given a tilt of -2 and a distance of 20 NM, it will be -2 (tilt) x 100 x 20 (distance) = 4000 feet. Hope that helps :)

[@normandbarbeau727]

Very good Very professional

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@ripper8771]

Very well explained. I just wanted to add that in the tropics CB’s can reach 60,000 ft!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! Oh yeah, they definitely can! :) Not encountered one that high yet in the sim though, it's yet another region of the world that I still have to explore :)

I see LTBA on the Navigation Display. It's my home airport. Long, but nice video.

[@AviationPro]

Nice! Thanks, hence the timestamps in the description

[@panagiotiskouk6965]

Awesome that video corrected my weather radar knowledge.Thank you!!!Also isn't there a purple color in the radar?

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome! If you mean pink/magenta, yes, as shown in the video.

[@panagiotiskouk6965]

AviationPro Oh ok I thought there were purple signs like in the weather charts video!!!

[@Flightbudy2channel]

Also note zero degrees tilt will may may not give you a Picture of that you are flying towards but where the nose is pointed. so at zero tilt at an attitude at 2°the radar is actually pointed 2° up, if you want to see what you are actually flying towards in that case then you’d need to tilt the WR down -2° so so that it’s pointing in the direction of flight.

[@AviationPro]

Good point, thanks!

[@Mav1843]

Incorrect. STAB on most airplanes allows that to happen, but in normal ops, setting tilt is reference to the horizon, not aircraft attitude.

[@carstensh.3112]

As i told you before, your videos are great. Now i have a question. It's not for this video. Can you make a video about a LOC approach? You wanted to do it but it's still missing. Thank you :)

[@MasteryGuns]

Im using active sky next but how can i import windspeeds in the fmc for legs?

[@adamkeb9244]

alright buddy I have a suggestion , I really want to know the procedure in order to chose your flight depending on the available or active atc , if there is any website to check on live and available atc to be able to choose the 2 point of your flight which are the departure and arrival thank you in advance

[@assasincreed2480]

does ASN prog work on it?

[@Driver170]

Hi, during climb out why does it show minus? So pitch is +8 the tilt shows -7

[@AviationPro]

It shows the pitch relative to the aircraft's own horizontal

[@ddekoster9271]

Nice video! Can you also make one for the PMDG 737 HUD?

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! Who knows!

[@maxdelangen11]

Hey man. Ik heb 2 vraagjes aan je. Het heeft niet met deze video te maken, maar aangezien dit je meest recente video is, heb ik hier de meeste kans dat je het ziet / erop reageert. 1) Welke headset gebruik je? 2) Waar zie je je frequenties die je in je bereik hebt tijdens je vlucht ? Ik gebruik sinds kort Vatsim, en heb al heel veel van je geleerd, maar weet nog niet alles. Ik gebruik Vatsim in combinatie met VPilot. In dit programma kan ik dus de frequenties bekijken, die dichtbij me zijn. Echter is er 1 probleem, wanneer ik in full-screen ga vliegen, zie ik het programma niet meer, en kan ik dus niet de frequenties bekijken, waardoor ik gedwongen word in windowed-mode te vliegen, maar dit maakt het minder realistisch, omdat ik natuurlijk in groot beeld wil vliegen. Is hier een oplossing voor ? Hoe doe jij dit ? Ik hoop dat je me hiermee kunt helpen zodat ik niet meer tegen het probleem aanloop. Hopelijk kun je deze 2 vraagjes snel beantwoorden!

[@rainerzufall689]

If radar would show clouds it would be completely useless. That is exactly what my eyes can do - at least in the daylight. In clouds you would see nothing useful and outside of clouds you can see clouds in a distance of 80NM - jst like yours eyes ^^

[@Alaska-jp8qk]

It's pronounced "hail" not "hill"

[@michaelbomman4903]

I have never seen his graph for snow and hail for which he calls snow and hills. People make sure your ready before you try teaching us to kill ourselves.

Ehm, this video is for flight simulation only. Not really possible to kill yourself that way. Unless you don't realise it's for flight simulation only, although it is clearly mentioned in the beginning of the video. (and in the description)
