Knowledge of a Raytheon Radar device was only half of what was required learning for this exam. I studied a couple books on the subject but it was only after the day, seeing the technical methods of plotting and manoeuvring using a radar, it bears more than logic.
Terms like: MARPA - Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid
which included in its list of functions
CPA - closets point of approach
TCPS - time to closest point of approach
CRS - course
BRG - bearing
RNG - range
SPD - speed.
TandEadapt's current Radar unit does not have MARPA and I didn't know it existed before this course. Although I was weak on this subject of the course, I passed with my understanding of other parts of the Radar functionality. Target Aquired.
