4.9.2.2 Ground Returns Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and oceans are not good reflectors, and normally do not provide good returns. The energy is reflected in a forward scatter angle with inadequate energy being returned. They can appear as dark areas on the display. However, rough or choppy water is a better reflector and will provide stronger returns from the downwind sides of the waves. Sec 1 System Cities normally provide a strong return signal.
Foreword Sec 1 System Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Sec 5 Additional Features Sec 6 Annun. & Alerts Sec 7 Symbols A smaller incident angle gives the radar a larger detectable range of operation and the target display will show a higher intensity. Since more radar energy is reflected back to the antenna with a low incident angle, the resulting detectable range is increased for mountainous terrain. 4.9.

If the displayed target advances on the screen to 5 NM of the aircraft, avoid it.
If the aircraft altitude is 15,000 feet or lower, set the displayed range to 60 NM. Closely monitor anything that enters the display. Also, after setting up the antenna tilt angle as described previously, ground returns can be monitored for possible threats.
