Is manual control (vertical tilt) of weather radar (WXR) antenna possible of equipped airplanes? - vertical antenna tree ground radials
The pilot can adjust the angle of the antenna is WXR) while (running and available from right to left, in an effort to "core" of a storm? My impression is that this is possible because of the great importance of apparent awareness on the vertical profile of the storm, when the beam weather radar, of course, a horizontal ( "cut") are visible. Interestingly, that reminds me a doctor with the help of a scanner ... to develop its direct beam, a three-dimensional model of the affected section of the body of a patient. WXR When the steerable beam vertically by the pilot (when the radar controls all horizontal bars), I wonder where is the control of the capacity () is in the cabin.

Vertical Antenna Tree Ground Radials Is Manual Control (vertical Tilt) Of Weather Radar (WXR) Antenna Possible Of Equipped Airplanes?

Yes, the inclination is control of both the radar control panel. Some schools also have an auto-tilt function. It is not huge to try to find the "core of the storm, to find out how much time there (to be determined at the level and below or above, if the escalation, perhaps, but the device is already" bent "upwards Tilt control is related to install). About the aircraft at high altitude, you can paint a return that does not cause problems, but that's how it disappears approaches. This is usually the return is well below the aircraft. The dimensions of the beam taken as, say, 60 or 70 miles, but it is much closer to you under the beam, and with the correct runway. Remember that the beam is not a constant width / height for all routes from the plane.
You can a 747 can be tilted up or down to 15 degrees horizontally.

Yes, you can tilt through a control on the radar in the cockpit. In general, that some plants left with a "take it or leave it" option!
