A detailed tutorial providing you with some of the basics of the operation of the weather radar and on how to avoid adverse weather. Please keep in mind: this video is intended for flight simulation ONLY!
📄📄 -- DOCUMENTATION -- 📄📄
For a more detailed view on weather radar systems and how to recognize various patterns that are portrayed in real world weather radar images, check out some of the documentation that I used for this video. Keep in mind that in the real world a much larger diversity of weather systems are present which generate characteristic shapes on the weather radar image. In flight simulation, not all of that is possible.

Note: obviously I made a mental maths mistake in the calculating cloud tops part at 31:49. Nevertheless, the end result is actually correct :)
Great job! I never really understood the workings of the weather radar on the PMDG. Your explanation will come in very handy for me. Thanks.
this is a phenomenal solid instructional video about WX radar. THANK YOU!
This video is... AWESOME 👌🏼
Thank you for putting on the description in what minute can you find each section....!!
You’re welcome! 😊
Congratulations, this is a great video, thank you.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for the clear explanation.
You’re welcome!
Awesome video. A very good explanation for the WR system and how to avoid the weather.
Indeed a fruitful explanation, Thank you very much
Very simple lenguage, good voice, and the graphics were the best for me, thank you.
best and comprehensive video ever seen thanks dear sir for your great explanation skill.
The best tutorial I've ever seen!! Good job 👌
Thanks! :)
Nicely done sir!
Simply the best wx rdr explanation i ve seen everywhere. As always awesome vids. Thnxxx....👍
Thank you! :)
Hello AviationPro! I found your videos very informative and interesting, so you just earned another subscriber! :D
Glad to hear that! :) Thank you! :)
This tutorial is really good. The explanation is very clear and simple enough to understand everything.
Thanks!
very clear explanation! thank you
Awesome video as allways!!
Thanks!
Dank weer Evert voor je duidelijke en goede uitleg van deze tutorial.
Graag gedaan! :)
Thanks for the amazing video!
You’re welcome!
This was great thanks!
Beautiful video, great explanation. I like how u took your time, it couldn’t get better mate. I myself I’m just starting my flying career and I’m lucky to be flying the 737NG in few weeks. My instructor sucks at explanation, had to look elsewhere. Great video. Cheers
Thanks! :)
Thank you mate. Awesome video 😎👍
You're welcome!
You are great bro ! What a detailed and interesting video! Thanks
You're welcome!

Thank you! :)
Well done . Thanks.
Thanks for watching! :)
great video thanks for your time
You’re welcome!
Excellent! Thank you very much
You're welcome!
nice job man, and although I'm not quite "allowed" to say that, thinking of all those not-use-for-real-life disclaimers, your videos are also quite applicable to refresh some summer flying related stuff such as cloud avoiding formulae etc. Backed up by some real life documents, of course. Keep it up!
Late reply, but thank you! :)
Brilliant, thank you very much for your work
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another excellent presentation - I was about to ask you to clarify the cloud height calculation but see someone has already asked the same question... see, some of us are paying attention sir... LOL... thanks again... brilliant (already subscribed and thumb up)
Haha, thanks for watching and subscribing! :)
very nice very helpful and very very informative and enjoyable
Thanks for watching! :)
Exceptionally good!
Thank you! :)
Old Auntie T wvid
Very well explained. I just wanted to add that in the tropics CB’s can reach 60,000 ft!
Thank you! Oh yeah, they definitely can! :) Not encountered one that high yet in the sim though, it's yet another region of the world that I still have to explore :)
Very coherent tutorial!.
Thanks!
Good job
Very good Very professional
Thanks!
I see LTBA on the Navigation Display. It's my home airport. Long, but nice video.
Nice! Thanks, hence the timestamps in the description
Great video thx !
Thank you! :)
Thank you! :)
Thx for good video:)
You're welcome!
Cool bro
Great video with excellent content. GCinco driver ✌🏽
Thanks! ;)
great video as the previous ones! is it ever possible in p3d to get in red echoes or to experience windshear near these echoes?
Late reply, but thanks! Yes, I have had windshear in Prepar3D before with Active Sky.
May I know which software can be used in conjunction with weather monitoring radar for giving visual representation of rain, fog, smoke, cloud, etc?
alright buddy I have a suggestion , I really want to know the procedure in order to chose your flight depending on the available or active atc , if there is any website to check on live and available atc to be able to choose the 2 point of your flight which are the departure and arrival thank you in advance
Hi, at 26:33, are those red/pink area what they call "OCNL EMBD CB" in SIGWX charts?
Not per se, but yes they are often CB clouds with this shape.
Im using active sky next but how can i import windspeeds in the fmc for legs?
As i told you before, your videos are great. Now i have a question. It's not for this video. Can you make a video about a LOC approach? You wanted to do it but it's still missing. Thank you :)
Also note zero degrees tilt will may may not give you a Picture of that you are flying towards but where the nose is pointed. so at zero tilt at an attitude at 2°the radar is actually pointed 2° up, if you want to see what you are actually flying towards in that case then you’d need to tilt the WR down -2° so so that it’s pointing in the direction of flight.
Good point, thanks!
Incorrect. STAB on most airplanes allows that to happen, but in normal ops, setting tilt is reference to the horizon, not aircraft attitude.
Finally All of my Weather Related Doubts Are Clear Than you @aviationpro
You're welcome! :)
Hello! Can I use some fragments from your video?
you most def can. aviation is about sharing information so we can all land safely and soundly! just make sure to give credit to this man for his hard work.
Can you just confirm the maths to determine cloud height. You are saying -2 x100=2000 x distance. -2 x100 is 200 not 2000 or am I doing something wrong with the maths?
Great video learnt a lot from it. Thanks
I might have said it wrong in the video. But given a tilt of -2 and a distance of 20 NM, it will be -2 (tilt) x 100 x 20 (distance) = 4000 feet. Hope that helps :)
Nice video! Can you also make one for the PMDG 737 HUD?
Thanks! Who knows!
AviationPro Thnx. Btw, I'm sorry of my previous comment
Awesome that video corrected my weather radar knowledge.Thank you!!!Also isn't there a purple color in the radar?
You're welcome! If you mean pink/magenta, yes, as shown in the video.
AviationPro Oh ok I thought there were purple signs like in the weather charts video!!!
In my wx radar didn´t appear nothing, sipte of I configured the climate with thuderstorms and rain in the ground, and i did all you indicate in the explanation 😢😢😢😢😢 even i pushed all the buttons, Please could you help me ?
how to do in flight stabilization if iam getting heavy ground returns?
How to find a weather radar gauge for fsx default 737?
Excellent Video. About the first example of Cloud Heights, I noticed you said -2° x 100 x 20NM = - 4.000ft. However when you do the first part calculation you say -2°x 100 = 2.000. The final calculation is right anyways but at the middle I think I missed something. Could you explain how did you find 2.000? Thank you So Much for this amazing video. You rock
Thanks for watching! I think I meant to said 200 there instead of 2000. So the final figure is indeed 4000 ft :)
@@AviationPro I got it. I suppose your mind did the calculation adding the last 0 on “20” and then multiple by 2. Very very very nice video. I’ve never had a best explanation about weather radar. Thank you so much. It will be very useful for my IATRA exam
@@GilbertoNovaes3 Glad it helped! :)
Does the radar work on fsx
I can’t get my weather radar to work in the first place, how do I fix that?
I have pmdg 737 on fsx
Do you have active sky?
Hi...
I have eeather radar rex and i have added it to my plane...But what button do i press to get it uo on the screen?
Jerry Spiteri what aircraft
Do we have a profile view on weather radar so we have an idea of vertical separation from the thunderstorm cell . If we have that then no deviation required as we can fly 5000 ft above the storm if it’s below us .
Unfortunately not, at least not on Boeing airplanes. I think some Garmin systems may have vertical weather radar though, as you can see in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZdbrXfotYjE/v-deo.html
@@AviationPro great ,it’s so so helpful , this vertical profile should be in all Boeing ,Airbus Airplanes. I guess it’s a subscription from garmin for this .
Can you make a video on it for the Boeing 787?
Hi, during climb out why does it show minus? So pitch is +8 the tilt shows -7
It shows the pitch relative to the aircraft's own horizontal
does ASN prog work on it?
Hey man. Ik heb 2 vraagjes aan je. Het heeft niet met deze video te maken, maar aangezien dit je meest recente video is, heb ik hier de meeste kans dat je het ziet / erop reageert.
1) Welke headset gebruik je?
2) Waar zie je je frequenties die je in je bereik hebt tijdens je vlucht ? Ik gebruik sinds kort Vatsim, en heb al heel veel van je geleerd, maar weet nog niet alles. Ik gebruik Vatsim in combinatie met VPilot. In dit programma kan ik dus de frequenties bekijken, die dichtbij me zijn. Echter is er 1 probleem, wanneer ik in full-screen ga vliegen, zie ik het programma niet meer, en kan ik dus niet de frequenties bekijken, waardoor ik gedwongen word in windowed-mode te vliegen, maar dit maakt het minder realistisch, omdat ik natuurlijk in groot beeld wil vliegen.
Is hier een oplossing voor ? Hoe doe jij dit ? Ik hoop dat je me hiermee kunt helpen zodat ik niet meer tegen het probleem aanloop.
Hopelijk kun je deze 2 vraagjes snel beantwoorden!
goede vragen
Can someone explain me why my weather Radar is Not showing up . Im using Rex Sky force 3d
Have ya found answer?
@@bigsmoke7054 yep bro. Activesky was required, bought it 8 months ago. Dont regret it ; )
Very nice and informative presentation.
Talking to ATC? If you really need to deviate? Never ask but TELL ATC You ARE deviating, in cases of need they are there to accommodate You.
Thanks! Definitely true
So X-Plane doesn’t have weather radars?
Champ Hoops Aviation not included, however there is a free plugin that does great
what is the addon for the weather ?
Active Sky for Prepar3D V4
what would be the best for xplane 11 ?
roland rayar active sky for xplane : )
X-plane needs to catch up...
Yep...
Cant wait for hifi simulations to join the game with xplane.
Absolutely not. It’s way more realistic than X-Plane...
ffa320 got wxr yesterday

Red countries with highest level of covid show up as red and require 14 nights quarantine in a government facility, the orange areas on the display indicate countries that require a PCR test within 48 hours of arrival and the green areas are places where you can land that require a vaccine passport.
1 dislike is cumulonimbus.
Looks like 2 more cells have developed in the mean time. Oh well...
If radar would show clouds it would be completely useless. That is exactly what my eyes can do - at least in the daylight. In clouds you would see nothing useful and outside of clouds you can see clouds in a distance of 80NM - jst like yours eyes ^^
It's pronounced "hail" not "hill"
I have never seen his graph for snow and hail for which he calls snow and hills. People make sure your ready before you try teaching us to kill ourselves.
Ehm, this video is for flight simulation only. Not really possible to kill yourself that way. Unless you don't realise it's for flight simulation only, although it is clearly mentioned in the beginning of the video. (and in the description)
thanks good video
Thanks for watching!
