The document describes the Earth's coordinate system of latitude and longitude. It defines key terms like the equator, which divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator, while longitude is the angular distance east or west of the prime meridian. Together, latitude and longitude provide a framework for precisely locating any position on Earth.
This document provides an overview of key geographic concepts and terms. It discusses different map projections like the Mercator, Goode, and Robinson projections. It also defines important location systems like latitude, longitude, and hemispheres. Additionally, it outlines features found on maps like legends, scale bars, and contour lines. Finally, it defines geographic entities like continents, oceans, and different types of maps.
1) Lines of latitude and longitude allow us to accurately describe locations on Earth. Lines of latitude run east-west and indicate how far north or south a place is from the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and indicate how far east or west a place is from the prime meridian.
2) The prime meridian passes through Greenwich, England and is defined as 0° longitude. Longitude lines are numbered up to 180° east and west of the prime meridian.
3) To write the latitude and longitude coordinates of a location, write the latitude value first, followed by the longitude value. For example, the coordinates of Madrid are 40° 26' N 3° 42' W.
This document provides information about latitude and longitude, different map projections, topographic maps, and remote sensing. It defines key terms and concepts and describes how cartographers use lines of latitude and longitude to locate positions on Earth. It also explains how different map projections, such as Mercator and conic, represent the globe on a flat surface and how topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation changes. The document concludes by discussing how satellites, sonar, and GPS are used in remote sensing to map and study Earth's surface and oceans from a distance.

Projections are an essentials part of every datasets. Basically, a projection is the mathematical operation needed to go from the planet actual shape to a flat map according to the Geographic Coordinate System.
Earth science encompasses five areas of study: astronomy, meteorology, geology, oceanography, and environmental science. Geology involves studying the materials that make up Earth and its history. Oceanography is the study of Earth's oceans, which cover most of the planet. Environmental science examines the interactions between organisms and their surroundings. Earth consists of four main systems - the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Maps represent Earth's spherical surface on a flat surface and use projections and symbols to depict geographic features and elevation changes.

Distortions
• The earth is spherical, and a simple way of mapping it without distortion is to map it on a globe. However, mapping on globes is not possible.
• The transformation from the three-dimensional ellipsoid/sphere to the two-dimensional plane (flat) surface is not possible without some form of distortion.
• The distortions increase as the distance from the central point of the projection increases
• Areas smaller than 25 x 25 km:
No distortions
• Areas larger than 25 x 25 km:
Always distortions
• Map projections are used to control/minimize the distortions
Classification and properties of map projections
Properties of map projections
• Areas are everywhere correctly represented
• All distances are correctly represented
• All directions on the map are the same as on Earth
• All angles are correctly represented
• The shape of any area is correctly represented (e.g. a circle projected would remain a circle)
The document discusses globes and maps. It explains that a globe is a small model of the Earth that shows its round shape and can be used to study concepts like day and night and seasons. A globe also shows the Earth's axis that it rotates around and identifies the North and South Poles. The document further explains other important lines and features on globes like the Equator, Prime Meridian, hemispheres, latitudes and longitudes. It describes how these are used to locate different places on Earth.
This document discusses how coordinate systems using longitude and latitude can be used to locate places on Earth. Longitude lines run north-south and are used to locate west-east positions. Latitude lines run east-west and locate north-south positions. Key points include the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude, the Equator at 0 degrees latitude, and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Several activities are provided to practice identifying locations based on their longitude and latitude coordinates.
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but is slightly flattened at the poles. The Earth rotates daily on its tilted axis, causing seasons and influencing climate. Parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude form a grid system to locate positions on the Earth's surface. The Earth revolves around the Sun annually in an elliptical orbit, with the seasons resulting from the tilt of its axis of rotation. Precise geodetic coordinates define locations on the reference ellipsoid used to model the oblate spheroid shape of the Earth.

The document discusses how latitude and longitude are used to locate places on Earth. It explains that:
1) Latitude and longitude lines create a grid system that provides coordinates like an address for any place on the planet. Latitude lines run east to west and longitude lines run north to south.
2) The equator is 0 degrees latitude and divides the northern and southern hemispheres. The prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich, England and divides the eastern and western hemispheres.
3) Coordinates are written with latitude first, using N for northern and S for southern hemispheres, followed by longitude using E for east and W for west of the prime meridian.
Latitudes and longitudes and india size and locationRajesh Kumar
This presentation covers the following topics:
1. Geographic coordinate system, i.e, latitude and longitudes
2. Size and location of India
(because before understanding the size and location our country, Geographic coordinate system, i.e, latitude and longitudes are important)
which enables the students to locate all four hemispheres including
Northern Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere
Eastern Hemisphere
Western Hemisphere
Students will be able to identify which line divides the earth into the correct hemispheres.
Students will be able to find locations on map using longitude and latitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude form a grid system around the Earth, with the equator as the starting point for measuring latitude and the Prime Meridian as the starting point for measuring longitude. Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure degrees north and south, while longitude lines run from pole to pole and measure degrees east and west. The intersection of a latitude and longitude line provides an absolute location on Earth.
This document discusses time zones and the International Date Line. It explains that:
- The world is divided into 24 time zones that are approximately 15 degrees of longitude wide.
- Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used as a global time standard and does not change with seasons.
- The International Date Line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and is located at 180 degrees longitude, opposite the Prime Meridian.
- Crossing the International Date Line from west to east results in gaining a day, while crossing from east to west results in losing a day.

Angles can be measured in degrees, minutes, seconds, or radians. Degrees are commonly used and there are conversion formulas between degrees and radians. Angles are used to describe direction and position in surveying, with common types including vertical, horizontal, deflection, and interior angles. Surveying directions make use of cardinal directions, meridians, magnetic declination, bearings, and azimuths to define lines and positions on the ground in reference to a coordinate system. True north is defined by the Earth's axis, while magnetic north varies over time.

Here are the answers:
1. The local time of a place situated 60° W of London will be 6 pm if it is noon in London. Since each 15° of longitude represents a 1 hour time difference, and the place is 60° west of London, the time difference will be 60/15 = 4 hours. So if it is noon in London, the local time at the place 60° W will be noon + 4 hours = 6 pm.
2. The local time of a place situated 90° E of London will be 3 pm if it is 9 am in London. Since each 15° of longitude represents a 1 hour time difference, and the place is 90° east of London, the time difference will be

2. OUR EARTH
• Poles
• Great Circle
• Equator
• Small Circle
• Meridian
• Prime Meridian
• Longitude
• Latitude
3. Great Circle
• Great Circle is any circle that circumnavigates the Earth
and passes through the center of the Earth. A great circle
always divides the Earth in half, thus the Equator is a great
circle (but no other latitudes) and all lines of longitude are great
circles
5. Equator
• Great circle around Earth that is everywhere equidistant from
the geographic poles and lies in a plane perpendicular to
Earth’s axis. This geographic Equator divides Earth into the
Northern and Southern hemispheres and forms the imaginary
reference line on Earth’s surface from which latitude is
reckoned; in other words, it is the line with 0° latitude. Earth’s
circumference at the geographic Equator is about 40,075 km
9. Meridian
• a meridian is the line connecting points of equal longitude,
which is the angle (in degrees) east or west of a given prime
meridian. In other words, it is a line of longitude.
12. Longitude
• Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position
of a point on the surface of the Earth, or another celestial body. It is
an angular measurement, usually expressed in degrees and denoted by
the Greek letter lambda (λ). Meridians are semicircular lines running
from pole to pole that connect points with the same longitude. The prime
meridian defines 0° longitude; by convention the International Reference
Meridian for the Earth passes near the Royal Observatory in Greenwich,
England on the island of Great Britain. Positive longitudes are east of the
prime meridian, and negative ones are west.
14. POSITION ON EARTH
• TYPES OF LATITUDE
• the Arctic Circle,
• the Antarctic Circle,
• the Equator,
• the Tropic of Cancer,
• the Tropic of Capricorn.
16. POSITION ON EARTH
• TYPES OF LATITUDE
• geocentric
• latitude or angle at the center of the Earth between the plane
of the celestial equator and a line (radius) to a given point on
the Earth's surface
• astronomical
• angle between the plane of the earth's equator and the plumb
line (direction of gravity) at a given point on the earth's surface
• geographic.
• the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It
is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around Earth
east-west, parallel to the Equator
17. POSITION ON EARTH
• TYPES OF LONGITUDE
• The two main longitudes are the Prime Meridian
and the 180° meridian. The two longitudes divide
the earth into two equal halves, the Eastern
Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
Therefore, the longitude of a place is followed by the
letter E for the east and W for the west.
18. POSITION ON EARTH
• TYPES OF LONGITUDE
• Lines of longitude are lines which join all places
having the same angular distance east or west of the
Prime Meridian. All lines of longitude are semicircles
of equal length. Lines of longitude are also called
Meridians because all places along a lines of
longitude experience mid-day at the same time
20. Types of Maps
Types of Maps
There are various types of maps, but in a broader spectrum they can be classified as the scale maps and
thematic maps.
Scale Maps. Maps according to scale are the following:
(i)Cadestal Maps. These are the maps drawn on a very large-scale up to 25 or more inches to a mile.
(ii) Topographical Maps. These are also drawn on a large scale. The scale ranges from 1
inch to a mile or four or more inches to a mile. The survey maps fall under this category.
(iii) Chorographical Maps. These are the small-scale maps of the various parts of the world
showing the typical features by conventional signs. The atlas maps fall under this category.
(iv) World Maps. These are also the small-scale maps showing the whole world.
21. Types of Maps
Thematic Maps. These maps are classified according to some important feature, which they
show.
• An outline map shows only the boundaries of continents and countries.
•

24. DISTANCE
• In spherical calculations it is frequently convenient to express spherical
distances (i.e. great circle distances) in terms of angular measurements
rather than in linear units. This is possible because of simple relationship
between radius, arc and angle at the centre of a circle. Thus the length of
the arc of a great circle on the Earth might be expressed as 10 38’; this
would convey little unless there were some ready means of converting
angular units to linear units. This difficulty of converting from angular to
linear units has been overcome by the definition of the standard unit of linear
measurement on the Earth, the nautical mile.
25. Nautical mile:
Assuming the Earth to be a true sphere, a nautical mile is defined as length of
the arc of a great circle which subtends an angle of one minute at the centre of
the Earth. Thus the number of nautical miles in the arc of any great circle equals
number of minutes subtended by that arc at the centre of the Earth. In the figure
below, if AB, the arc of a great circle, subtends an angle at the Earth’s centre of
40 20’, AB is said to be 40 20’ in length. 40 20’ is equivalent to 2,420 minutes
of arc which is equal to a length of 2,420 nautical mile.
2420NM
26. Nautical mile
•A more accurate definition of the nautical
mile is that it is length of the arc on the
earth’s surface that subtends an angle of
one minute at its own centre of curvature.
The length of a standard nautical mile is
6080 ft on earth’s surface.
27. Statute Mile
The other mile unit in common use is
the statute mile. It is the unit of linear
measurement whose length is 5280 ft. it
is purely arbitrary unit of measurement
and, unlike nautical mile, is not readily
converted into angular measurement
terms
28. Kilometre
This unit is the length of 1/10,000th part of
the average distance between the equator
and the either pole; it is equivalent to 3280 ft
30. Direction
• In order to fly in a given direction it is necessary to be
able to refer to a datum line or fixed direction whose
orientation is known or can be determined. The most
convenient datum is the meridian through the current
position, since it is North-South line. By convention
direction is measured clockwise from North, to the
nearest degree, i.e. from 000 to 360. It is always
expressed as three-figure group; thus East which is
90 from North, is written 090, and West 270
31. Direction
•True Direction: Direction measured
with reference to True North, the
direction of the North geographic pole, is
said to be the True direction.
32. Direction
• Magnetic Direction: The Earth acts as though it is a huge magnet
whose field is strong enough to influence the alignment of a freely
suspended magnetic needle anywhere in the world. The poles of this
hypothetical magnet are known as the North and South magnetic poles
and, like those of any magnet, they can be considered to be connected by
the magnetic lines of force. Although the magnetic and geographic poles
are by no means coincident (the respective North poles are separated by
approximately by 900 NM), the lines of force throughout the equatorial
and temperate regions are roughly parallel to Earth’s meridians. A freely
suspended magnetic needle will take up the direction indicated by the
Earth’s lines of force and thus assume a general North-South direction;
the actual direction in which it points, assuming no other influences are
acting upon it, is said to be Magnetic North.
33. Direction
• Compass Direction: When a freely suspended magnetic
needle is influenced only by the Earth’s magnetic field, the
direction it assumes is known as Magnetic North. If such a
needle is placed in an aircraft, it is subject to a number of
additional magnetic fields created by various electrical circuits
and magnetized pieces of metal within the aircraft; consequently
its North-seeking end deviates from the direction of magnetic
North and indicates a direction known as compass North
34. Direction
• Variation: The angular difference between the direction of True North and
Magnetic North at any given point, and therefore between all the True
directions and Magnetic directions at that point, is called Variation. Variation
is measured in degrees and is named East (+) or West (-) according to
whether the Magnetic North lies East or West of the True North. The
algebraic sign given to Variation indicates how it is to be applied to magnetic
direction to convert it to True direction. At any point, therefore, the True
direction can be determined by measuring Magnetic direction and then
applying the local Variation. A useful mnemonic is:
•
• “Variation east, Magnetic least, Variation West, Magnetic best”
•
35. Direction
•Agonic Lines
There may be places on the surface of the Earth
at which the variation is zero i.e. there is no angular
difference between True north and the Magnetic
North. Lines joining points of zero variation are
known as agonic lines.
36. Direction
•Track The direction of the path of an aircraft over
the ground is called its track. Track is measured in degrees
and is expressed (like heading) as a three figure group e.
045. It may be measured relative to true north, magnetic
north or grid north and is annotated (T), (M) or (G)
accordingly.
37. Direction
•Heading-It is the direction in which the
longitudinal axis or nose of the aircraft is
pointing. It is expressed in degrees from
north. The variation and deviation must be
known in order to inter-change true,
magnetic and compass headings.
38. Bearing
It is the direction of a given point, measured
clockwise from a specific reference datum, to a
second point. It can be magnetic, true and Grid
etc. depending on the reference datum (North).
43. DIRECTION
•Track Made Good
In flying from one point to another the path which
the aircraft actually follows over the ground is called
its track made good. When the track made good
coincides with the track required, the aircraft is said
to on the track; when track made well and track
required are not the same the aircraft is said to be
off track. The angular difference between TR and
TMG is known as Track Error (TE).
44. Drift
The angle between the heading and the track of an aircraft is
called drift. Drift is due to the effect of wind and is the lateral
movement imparted to an aircraft by the wind. An aircraft flying in
conditions of no wind, or directly upwind or downwind,
experiences no drift. In such cases, track and heading coincide.
Under all other conditions track and heading differ by a certain
amount, referred to as the drift. Drift is expressed in degrees
to port (P) or starboard (S) of the aircraft’s heading; an aircraft
experiencing port drift is said tot drift to port, and its track lies to
port of his heading.
45. Deviation
The angular difference between the direction of Magnetic North
and that of Compass North, and therefore all Magnetic directions
and their corresponding Compass directions, is called Deviation
•Deviation of a compass will change:
•As its position in the aircraft is changed.
•After a lapse of long period.
•As the aircraft flies great distances over Earth
46. Scale of the Map
The scale of a map is the ratio between a given length on the map and the
actual distance this length represents on the earth’s surface. To bring
down a map to a size that is usable, everything must be reduced in size at
a uniform rate. The scale of the map indicates the amount to which those
objects have been reduced.
• The proportion, which the distance between any two points on the maps
bears to the horizontal distance between the same two points on ground,”
is defined as the scale of a map.
• Scale = Map Length
Earth Distance
47. Scale of the Map
• In words. 1 inch to 1 mile or 1” = 1 mile. This means that one inch on
the map represents one mile on the ground.
• (b) Representative fraction (RF). This is the scale expressed in the form of a
fraction, which is written in following ways: -
• 1/25,000 or 1: 25,000
• This means that one unit of length on the map represents 25,000 of the same
units on the ground.
• (c) Scale line. This method is used to show the scale by a line drawn on
almost every map showing graphically the map distance that represents
certain ground distance.
48. LEGEND OF THE MAP
•For the easy understanding of the map
and to make the map a user-friendly
tool, the legend is marked on the map

in the map, how the relief features are
represented and the colours used in
colour-tinting.

54. AIR SPEED
• IAS- Indicated airspeed- Reading on an airspeed indicator
• CAS-Calibrated Air speed- Calibrated airspeed (CAS) is indicated
airspeed corrected for instrument errors, position error (due to incorrect
pressure at the static port) and installation errors.
• EAS- Equivalent Air Speed-Equivalent airspeed (EAS) is defined as the
airspeed at sea level in the international standard Atmosphere at which
the (incompressible) dynamic pressure is the same as the dynamic
pressure at the true airspeed(TAS) and altitude at which the aircraft is
flying
• TAS- True Air Speed- The true airspeed (TAS; also KTAS, for knots true
airspeed) of an aircraft is the speed of the aircraft relative to the airmass
in which it is flying. The true airspeed and heading of an aircraft constitute
its velocity relative to the atmosphere

60. SEMI CIRCULAR RULE
• The default worldwide semi-circular rule is the East/West
orientation of the flight level parity:
- Your aircraft has track between 0° and 179°, your flight
level or altitude must be odd.
- Your aircraft has track between 180° and 359°, your flight
level or altitude must be even
61. SEMI CIRCULAR RULE
•By following the semi-circular rule, a VFR aircraft
will limit possible conflicts between other
aircraft coming in opposite direction by
providing 1000ft separation between opposite
west/east tracks
63. Safety Altitude
• The safety margin is a combination of
•
• Air Flow Effect: In the area of high obstacles and high ground, windy
conditions may cause a local reduction in pressure, resulting in the
altimeter over reading.
• Temperature / Altimeter Errors; The inherent errors of the pressure
altimeter combined with errors caused by atmospheric variation from
ICAO standard cause the instrument to give incorrect indications in the
vertical displacement.
64. Safety Altitude
• From a map select the elevation of the highest obstacle
in the Zone of Error, for instance 1,100 feet.
• Add 10% for airflow effect: 1,100 + 110 = 1,210 feet.
• Add 1,500 feet for temperature error and altimeter
setting error, giving a total of 2,710 feet, which is the
safety altitude.
65. Radio Nav System
•Types of Radio Nav Aids
•NDB(NON DIRECTIONAL BEACON)
•VOR(VHF OMNI DIRECTIONAL RANGE)
•ILS(INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM)
•DME(DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT)
•GNSS(GLOBAL NAVIGATIONAL SATELITE SYSTEM)
66. NDB
• A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) is a ground-based radio transmitter that
emits low-frequency signals. NDBs are used to help guide aircraft and
vessels during their approach.
67. NDB
• signals that are received by the Automatic Direction Finder (ADF). The
ADF is a standard instrument on board aircraft. The signal contains a
coded element that identifies the station, usually 1-3 letters
in Morse Code. .
76. DME
•provides very accurate slant range, a circular position line and
in conjunction with another DME, or a co-sited VOR, two
position line fixes.
• integrates the change of slant range into groundspeed and
elapsed times when the aircraft is fitted with an appropriate
computer.
• permits more accurate flying of holding patterns and DME
arcs.
77. DME
•provides range and height checks when flying non-
precision approach procedures, e.g. Locator only and VOR
let-downs.
• indicates accurate ranges to the runway threshold, and
heights for range, when flying an ILS/DME procedure.
• facilitates radar identification when the pilot reports his
VOR/DME position.
86. Primary Radar
• PSR principle of operation
• The PSR output data uses polar coordinate
system - it provides range and bearing of the
targets found in respect of the antenna
position. Note that the range is the slant
distance from the antenna and not the
horizontal distance.
• The range is determined by the time difference
of the emitted and received pulse (the speed of
propagation is the speed of light) and the
bearing is obtained from the antenna azimuth.
87.
88. Primary Radar
•The antenna radiation
pattern is a narrow beam
when seen from above and,
with some approximation,
can be considered as a
trapezium if seen from
the side.
89. Primary Radar
• Advantages
• PSR is the only surveillance sensor used in
civil aviation that does not require any on-
board equipment to locate aircraft. Unlike
SSR, ADS-B and MLAT it can discover an aircraft
experiencing Transponder Failure or an
intruder.
90. Primary Radar
• Limitations
• Cone of silence. Due to the radiation pattern, there is a
part of the airspace above the antenna that cannot be
surveyed. This effect is mitigated by placing an array of
radars in such a way that each radar's cone of silence is
covered by another radar.
• Targets with the same slant range (at different levels)
are hard to distinguish (the blips received will overlap).
This is mitigated by combining the PSR with an SSR that
can recognize the different aircraft by their transponder
codes.
• Difficult correlation. Due to the data received (position
only) it is not possible to use automatic correlation.
Manual correlation (after proper aircraft identification)
91. Primary Radar
• Limitations
• The radar relies on reflected signals but is not aware if
they are received from aircraft or from other objects (e.g.
terrain, buildings, clouds). Such reflections are called
clutter. This can somewhat be mitigated by processing the
data using an MTD (moving target detector). This feature
uses the doppler shift of the received signal to determine
whether it came from a stationary or a moving target.
• No level data available. Civil PSRs do not have the ability
to obtain target level. This may be mitigated either by
receiving pilot reports or by combining the PSR with other
types of sensors. Note that some military radars have this
feature (either by using a second antenna or an antenna
92. Primary Radar
• Limitations
• Unambiguous range limit. When receiving the signal it is
not possible to determine the corresponding emitted pulse.
Therefore, a false target can be detected (usually close to
the radar) if the reflected signal reaches the antenna
after a second pulse is transmitted. This effect is
mitigated by adjusting the transmitted energy and the
antenna rotation speed.
• Minimum range limit. The PSR operates on one frequency
which means that it cannot emit and receive signal at the
same time. If the target is too close to the radar antenna,
the reflected signal may be received before the end of the
transmission. If that happens, the target will not be
detected. Note that shortening the pulse will also reduce
the amount of emitted energy thus limiting the maximum
93. Secondary Radar
•A surveillance radar system which uses
transmitters/receivers (interrogators)
and transponders.
•Source: ICAO Doc 4444 PANS-ATM
•
96. Secondary Radar
• Principle of operation
• The radar antenna rotates (usually at 5-12 rpm) and transmits a
pulse which is received by the onboard equipment (transponder).
The transponder sends back a reply containing at least a code
(if operating in Mode A) but more often this is combined with
level (mode C) or other information, e.g. aircraft
identification, selected level, etc. (Mode S). The information
received depends on the interrogation mode (A, C or S) and the
transponder capability. For example, interrogation in Mode A
will receive a reply in mode A even though the transponder may
have Mode C or Mode S capability and an interrogation in Mode C
will not trigger a response from a Mode A transponder.
Typically, two Mode A interrogations are followed by a Mode C
interrogation. The reason for using Mode A more frequently is
that the identity of the aircraft (the SSR code) is of greater
97.
98. Secondary Radar
• Advantages
• Requires much less power to achieve the desired range, in
comparison to PSR. This is because the transmitted signal only
needs to reach the aircraft, while the PSR needs to emit a
signal strong enough to reach the aircraft and travel back to
the antenna.
• The information provided is not limited to range and bearing
from the antenna but also includes additional data based on the
transponder mode of operation (A, C or S).
• Targets are easier to distinguish due to the different SSR
codes.
• SSR is immune to clutter as it uses different frequencies for
interrogation (1030 MHz) and replies (1090 MHz). Consequently,
even if an echo on 1030 MHz is received, it is not processed by
the system. Therefore, terrain, buildings and weather phenomena
99. Secondary Radar
• Limitations and issues
• The SSR relies on the onboard equipment to discover
aircraft. In case of transponder failure the SSR will
receive no reply and will therefore not discover the
target. This is mitigated by combining the SSR with a PSR.
If proper signal processing is used, it is possible to
continue to track an aircraft (and preserve Correlation)
even if the transponder has failed completely provided
that reliable primary data is received. Note that in this
case level information will be less reliable and more
frequent pilot reports will be necessary.
• Sometimes two replies are received at the same time (if
the slant range and the bearings of the aircraft the
same). This phenomenon is called "garbling" and may result
either in the "detection" of a false (non-existing)
100. Secondary Radar
• Limitations and issues
• Another phenomenon that may produce false indication is FRUIT
(False Replies Unsynchronised In Time or False Replies
Unsynchronised to Interrogator Transmissions). This happens
when the radar receives a reply from a transponder that has
been interrogated by another radar. Since all SSRs operate on
the same frequencies, it is not possible to detect that the
reply is related to another radar's transmission. Moreover, as
the time of the interrogation is not known, the range
calculation will most likely be wrong. As a result, a false
target may appear on the situational display. Additionally, if
another (valid) transponder reply is received at the same time,
garbling could occur. Garbling and FRUIT are aggravated by the
need of "classic" SSRs to use several interrogations for proper
azimuth determination and can be mitigated by:
• Using an MSSR (monopulse SSR). This is an advanced radar that uses a
different beam pattern that provides more accurate azimuth
determination. As a result, fewer interrogations are required to
determine the azimuth.
101. Secondary Radar
• Limitations and issues
• SSRs are vulnerable to antenna shadowing (i.e. the
onboard antenna is shadowed by the aircraft fuselage,
e.g. due to the bank angle). This is mitigated by
placing more than one antenna (usually two - one on
top of the aircraft and one at the bottom).
