What is the search sector for the LPWSs Search Radar?

• A. Azimuth 0°, Elevation 0°
• B. Azimuth 90°, Elevation 45°
• C. Azimuth 310°, Elevation 72°
• D. Azimuth 180°, Elevation 60°

Answer: (C)

Radar search sector is the angular region the radar actively scans, described by azimuth (horizontal direction) and elevation (vertical tilt). For the LPWSs Search Radar, the sector is azimuth 310° and elevation 72°, meaning the radar sweeps toward the northwest while tilting high to scan well above the horizon. This high-elevation, northwest-focused scan enhances detection of targets at longer range or high altitude in that portion of the sky. Other directions or lower elevation tilts would cover different parts of the sky and wouldn’t match the configured coverage pattern for this system.
