Radar antenna tilt is set ____ when the multi-scan switch is selected to AUTO.

Radar antenna tilt is set ____ when the multi-scan switch is selected to AUTO.

• A. manually
• B. automatically
• C. remotely
• D. partially

Answer: (B)

In AUTO, the radar tilt is controlled by the system rather than by the pilot. When the multi-scan switch is set to AUTO, the weather radar automatically adjusts the antenna elevation to optimize the weather scan for the chosen range and mode. This reduces pilot workload and helps maintain a useful balance between detecting distant weather and avoiding ground clutter. Manual tilt would require the pilot to set the angle directly, while “remotely” or “partially” aren’t the standard terms used for this automatic behavior.
