Description
Radar Log Book is a log for tracking the radar installation’s use and characteristics over time. It can provide navigators and technical personnel with a comprehensive history of the equipment’s behaviour in various waters and conditions.
The book has an introduction and space for information about the installation, followed by two sections with 25 lined double-page spreads each: operational log and target observation log. The operational section includes fields for radar in use, operating time, performance checks, unsatisfactory function, repairs, and remarks.
The observation section provides space for information on radar band, weather, sea and precipitation clutter, atmospheric conditions, detection range, and ARPA performance. The history can also be useful at watch changes, handovers, and when assessing faults or limitations of the equipment.
