INTRODUCTION
The PRIMUS
R
870 Weather Radar System is a lightweight, X--band
digital radar with alphanumerics designed for weather detection and
ground mapping.
The primary purpose of the system is to detect storms along the
flightpath and give the pilot a visual color indication of their rainfall
intensity and turbulence content. After proper evaluation, the pilot can
chart a course to avoid storm areas.
This appendix gives a brief summary of the system operation. For
complete operating instructions on the PRIMUS

870 Weather Radar
System, refer to Honeywell Pub. No. A28--1146--056.
