Radar is the ultimate in electronic navigation aids. Other equipment may help you find your way across open water, but only radar will see you safely through a thick fog, showing you ships that may run you down, rocks you're trying to avoid, or the buoys that mark the channel to your berth. This practical guide shows you how to get the best possible picture and how to interpret it. All the major techniques are explained in simple terms and illustrated with dual photos of the chart and radar screen to help you understand the similarities and differences. Includes: Understanding the System, Interpreting the Screen, Navigating by Radar, Collision Avoidance, Blind Pilotage, and Installation and Maintenance. Softcover. 96pg. 104 b/w photos.

This manual/workbook, both authors of which have been members of the Collision Avoidance Radar Department of the Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies, provides the means for an operator to develop an at a glance capacity on a stabilized relative motion radar. Once the system of situation recognition has been mastered, a multiplicity of targets can be handled safely and surely, and collision avoidance becomes quite simple. The Real Time Method of Radar Plotting equips the deck officer to pass the Coast Guard's radar observer test. Also used in many U.S.C.G. Approved radar courses. Softcover. 48pg
