🔍 Key Concepts

• RACON (radar beacon) – what it does to your radar picture when your radar pulse hits it • How a coded radar return is shown on the PPI (plan position indicator) – bearing vs. range • Difference between visual aids to navigation (lights, sounds) and what actually shows on radar

💭 Think About

• Which answer choices clearly describe something that would be visible on the radar screen itself, and which describe something that doesn’t match how radar works? • Think about how a RACON helps you: does it mainly help you by giving you a special sound, a shape, or a distinctive mark along a bearing on the radar? • For the remaining plausible choices, which one mentions both a code and a relationship to the bearing of the light that matches how a RACON marks that aid on radar?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that does not describe a visual indication on the radar scope. • Focus on options that mention a coded or characteristic mark (RACONs send a Morse-character response). • Check which choice correctly ties the RACON mark to the same bearing as the light, but with a distinctive radar appearance.
