Problems with Jungle Jet Radar

[TWA Dude]

To All:

Thanks for the reports. I'm passing on the info to my friend that he's not the only one experiencing problems.

While dish size is important it can't explain why close-by cells aren't showing up while flying at high altitudes. Keem them NASA reports comin'.

Lears, citations and EMB-120's don't take lightning strikes like the 135/140/145 series. I firmly believe the BIGGEST culprit involving this A/C's poor radar performance is that big ball of static electricity at the nose.

Sounds to me like the radome is the most probable culprit. Would be interesting to learn more about this. If someone here who has experienced this could send me some detailed info in a private message, the exact model number of aircraft, type of radar installed, altitudes, distance, location of occurences, I think I can get it to the right folks to look into the situation. Are you an ALPA carrier? If so, include that info as well. There may be a way to fix this.
