Radar altimeters, such as the Radar Altimeter-2 instrument on Envisat, fire hundreds of radar pulses down to Earth every second, and by timing their return down to the nanosecond can measure sea height to a maximum accuracy of two centimeters from hundreds of kilometers above the Earth.

Dissecting a Hurricane With an Environmental Satellite

An interagency team then selected a configuration that includes a passive IR engine exhaust system, floor armor, M60D door guns, secure radios, and a radar altimeter, along with other standard equipment.

His lawyers also contended the jet's altitude gauge - the radar altimeter - malfunctioned, and, they argued, an optical illusion made Capt Ashby think he was flying higher than he really was.

Ski-lift tragedy pilot is cleared; Military jury acquits marine over crash into cable car that killed 20

At this point, I fixated on the radar altimeter (RADALT) for what I estimate to be the next four to five minutes.

Tingling sensations

In his June 2014 article, "Know Your Height AGL," Frank Bowlin explained the potential uses of a radar altimeter. As I read that, I reflected on my airline days where we used a pressure altimeter set to read our height above the airport.

Altitude VS. height: Aircraft fly in three dimensions. The flat two dimensions are easy to deal with, but sometimes that vertical dimension causes us some confusion

The Ka band altimeter, ALTIKA, provided by CNES consists of a Ka-band radar altimeter, operating at 35.75 GHz.

For example, if you're adjusting the radar altimeter, your hands must go into the bay while the vaneaxial fan spins.

Take heed of warnings

I picked out the Visual Approach Slope Indicators (VASIs) and started down, but I couldn't tell how high above the runway we actually were because of the rain and blur of lights (we typically didn't use the Radar Altimeter to call out altitudes).
