Grivation = Variation + Convergence Min Radar Range = (C * PW)/2
Coeff C = (Deviation N - Deviation S)/2 DALR = 3˚C/1000 ft SALR = 1.98˚C/1000 ft Max Radar Range = C/2PRF
Coeff B = (Deviation E - Deviation W)/2 Cloud height above/below aircraft (ft) =
Height of Cloud Base = (T - Dew Point T) * 400
Coeff A = Range (Nm) * (tilt – ½ beam width) * 100
Dev (N+NE+E+SE+S+SW+W+NW)/8 Temp Rise Fohn = (Lee Cloud Base - Windward Cloud Base) * 1.2
SSR Range = Proportional to √Power
Deviation on Any Heading =
True Altitude = PA + [4/100 * PA * ∆T/10] Radar Range = Proportional to 4√Power

Transport Wander = VHF Range (nm) = 1.25√Hr + 1.25√Ht TAT= SAT[1+{0.2KM2}] (T in ˚Kelvin)
E/W GS (Kt) * Tan Lat / 60 QTE - Aircraft's true bearing from the station TAT= SAT+ (TAS/100)2 (T in ˚C)
Radius of Turn = V2 * g * Tan Bank QUJ - Aircraft's true track to the station Pressure Altitude = Elevation + 30(1013-QNH)
