A pilot cannot fly by sight alone In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in densefog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are not very good atdetermining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving

The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave The echo of the

sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave With radar, however, the wavesare radio waves instead of sound waves Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000kilometers in one second A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves Then it receives the echoesproduced when the waves bounce off objects By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return tothe radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects.The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging” “Ranging” is the termfor detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to

pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems

and storms
