OG-<strong>APG</strong><strong>68</strong>(<strong>V5</strong>) 03/06/2001<br />
Azimuth<br />
settings when available.<br />
The first of these is the Azimuth setting.<br />
This controls the amount of horizontal scan<br />
that the radar performs. There are four<br />
settings for the azimuth, these being + /-<br />
60 , + /-30 , + /- 25 , and + /- 10 . The first<br />
setting of + /-60 gives you a complete scan<br />
of all 120 that the radar can scan in the<br />
horizontal. The latter settings gradually<br />
reduce the amount that the radar scans in<br />
front of the aircraft (see the diagram to the<br />
left)<br />
The (F8) key changes between these<br />
Azimuth information is represented by the<br />
scale at the bottom of the radar screen(see<br />
diagram to the right). The scale is split into 20 marks, and represents the full<br />
120 that the radar can scan. The cyan tick mark shows the current location<br />
of the antenna along the horizon. The information on the current azimuth<br />
setting is also represented by two Azimuth Gates that appear in cyan on the<br />
radar screen (see below)<br />
When operating in the<br />
restricted azimuth scan<br />
patterns, you can alter the<br />
horizontal direction that the<br />
radar is pointing by moving<br />
the Target Acquisition Cursors<br />
(explained later) left and right<br />
in the direction you whish the<br />
radar to look.<br />
