Clearly you can move the radar antenna up and down and you can see the slice of sky (cake) you are searching (shown on the MFD radar cursor top and bottom at a given range)

 

My question is what happens when you pitch the plane up or down. Does the radar try to keep the radar searching the same bit of sky or would that move as your plane moves. Therefore the cursor MFD numbers are straight and level reference???

Most radars are stabilized.

 

If you point it at 3degrees down or whatever, it will try to stay pointed 3 degrees down within its gimbal limits.

In most cases (when the radar is not soft locked on some target in TWS) the radar will hold elevation in relation to the horizon at set alt.

 

I.e. you fly at 20,000ft and you have your antena set to i.e +3 degrees to cover area in front of you 19,000 to 25,000 at some distance,

 

than you dive to 10,000ft not touching your antena elevation you still have your antena to +3 degrees, but this time radar covers between 9,000 to 15,000 at the same distance.

You mean up, right?
