Radar Workbook: Problems and Answers in Marine Radar Operations

0/5 ( ratings)

- For all radar users, recreational and professional. - Covers the use of radar for chart navigation, blind pilotage, and collision avoidance. This Workbook is designed to be used in classroom or online courses in radar, or for individual study outside of the classroom. The lesson structure follows that used by several schools in the US, based on the background reader Radar for Mariners by David Burch. The Appendix on advanced radar plotting is included for professional mariners who seek more practice on interpreting ARPA output by working out the vector solutions themselves. The ability to manually interpret the radar interactions seen on the screen, independent of electronic solutions, is in keeping with the fundamental tenet of good navigation and seamanship that we should not rely on any one aid alone.
