"...a superb introduction to radar operation for the uninitiated, and a good explanation of the basics for pilots who may fly radar-equipped airplanes. I strongly recommend this quick, graphics-laced course to pilots who want to learn a lot about radar use and limitations in a short period of time ... it makes me want to jump in the cockpit of a radar-equipped airplane and try out everything I’ve just learned."
