Radalt and bank angles


Puma

Recommended Posts

It is an observed behaviour that from level flight, the radar altimeter switches to XXXXR at approximately 35 degrees of bank in either direction.

 

Comparing to the publicly available A-10C -1, this is not the correct behavior.  The -1 states that above 3,000’, if the pitch is +- 35 degrees, then the radalt should function up to +120 degrees of bank in either direction.  If pitch is 35-50 degrees, only +-15 bank is tolerated.  Beyond 50 pitch behaviour is undefined.  Below 3000’ its actually better, with less than 45 degrees of pitch providing 120 degrees of bank, and 45-60 pitch allowing 15 of bank.  Page 1-69 for the original wording.

Wouldn't then the RadAlts be pointing up towards the sky?

If the antennas were mounted only on the belly as they are on civilian aircraft that would be true.  But, the A-10C has one antenna on the bottom of both horizontal stabs, and two antennas on the outboard sides of each vertical stab.
