Morpheus Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have just a little problem with radar altimeter, just in MP. It's like it was all time in "Check", and I hear alarm, pointer goes from altitude to zero. This happens only in cold start. If I take plane ready to taxi , no problem. I try to follow Chuck's Guide (p.44: set index to zero and set it back to dangerous altitude without success. It's not really important, I set index to 0 but I should like to know what I am doing wrong in cold start. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charly_Owl Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I may have glossed over this a bit quickly, but basically you set the radar altimeter knob to 0 in order to reset the alarm. Sometimes you need to play or wiggle a bit with it before you set it to 0 in order to remove the alarm light that pops up during the self-test. Once the light is extinguished, you should be able to set your "radar altitude alarm height" without problem. Check this video at 2:30. The Radar Altimeter does a self-test, you hear the beep, and then you need to reset the knob as shown to get rid of the warning light.

JG14_Smil Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hello, Setting the MSA to '0' is a way to manually trigger the alarm for testing. It takes several minutes for the altimeter to start working. After that the RSBN navigation will start working too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Thanks, I just fly aerobatic with my team and don't use RSBN may be a day I 'll take time to learn all systems of this pretty bird but at this moment preparing VUAF and VFAT 207 for two displays (L-39C and Alphajet) and time is missing :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
