Course Description
This exercise is the culmination of the knowledge obtained in T&E 4204. The student will demonstrate the correct Flight Test Techniques for predicting and evaluating RADAR performance. The student will be responsible for organizing the flight brief, evaluating Test Hazard Analysis, conducting the mission, collecting and analyzing flight data and pilot comments and conducting the de-brief. The student will be responsible for preparing an oral report highlighting the results of his/her findings. Students will be assigned a single task during this module, requiring one evaluation flight. The evaluation task will be designed by the instructor and entail measuring the performance of an air-to-ground Doppler RADAR. The evaluation will require 2.0 hours of flight test time. The flight and subsequent report will gauge the student’s comprehension of the instruction received in the previous modules. This exercise is available during the week after the T&E 4204 course to provide maximum training benefit.
