Description

A one-day/8 hour radar navigation course giving you an understanding of radar as an aid to navigation and collision avoidance.

Cruising boats increasingly have radar on board. The International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea state that if you have a radar, you must know how to use it.

Radar is probably the most versatile of all electronic navigation aids, but the best results are only obtained when you know how to use all the functions correctly. It is not an automatic all-seeing eye, and can easily mislead those who do not understand its controls, allow for its limitations, or interpret its picture.

Course topics include:

how the radar set works

how its adjustments and features affect the way it works

target definition

radar reflectors

types of radar display

radar plotting

the use of radar in navigation and collision avoidance
