RYA Radar Course

Radar is probably the most versatile of all electronic navigation aids. It is not, however, an all seeing electronic eye and can easily mislead those who do not know how to adjust its controls, allow for its limitations or interpret its picture.

The RYA Radar Course has been designed to help you get the best out of your radar. The course is broken down into the following sections

• Principles of Radar
• Radar set Components
• Radar set Controls
• Discrimination
• Targets
• Radar Reflections
• Displays
• Collision Avoidance
• Navigation
• Pilotage
• Parallel Indexing
• Accuracy

Each section is fully explained in the student pack (RC98) which also contains a number of self test questions at the end of each section. It’s a good idea to work through these questions as you work through the course. That way your tutor will be available to answer problems as you come across them.
