How will the signal from a ramark show on the PPI?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ramark (radar marker beacon) function and purpose • Difference between bearing and range information on a PPI (plan position indicator) • How radar beacons (ramark vs racon) appear on radar displays

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does a ramark mainly help you identify a bearing, a range, or a precise position? • Compare each answer choice to what a line, circle, or coded signal would tell you about the target on the PPI. • Think about how a continuous signal transmitted on a fixed bearing from shore would logically paint on a rotating radar display.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether a ramark provides bearing-only information or both bearing and range. • Check which answer choice’s pattern would be fixed in bearing but extend across a range scale on the PPI. • Verify how a racon display differs from a ramark, so you don’t mix up the two in how they appear.

Dashed circle at the same range as the transponder

Circle surrounding the transponder

Radial line from the transponder to the center of the PPI

Coded signal on the same bearing and at a greater range then the transponder
