How far from the radome should you be?

• A. 1 Foot
• B. 2 Feet
• C. 3 Feet
• D. 5 Feet

Answer: (B)

The safety rule here is to keep people at a defined minimum distance from the nose radar’s radome because the weather radar inside is a delicate, energized system. Maintaining that clearance protects both personnel from inadvertent contact and the radar from damage during ground handling and servicing. Two feet is the designated minimum distance. It provides a practical buffer to avoid striking the radome with tools or ground equipment and to stay out of the radar’s immediate vicinity during inspections or maintenance. Being closer than that increases the risk of damaging the radome or interfering with the radar, while the other distances aren’t required by standard procedures.
