Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Set up radar
   • Radar is prepared for operation in accordance with standard procedures.
   • Radar is initialised and used in accordance with standard procedures and manufacturer's instructions.
   • Operational performance and accuracy of the radar is confirmed and appropriate action is taken where performance is out of limits.
   • Misrepresentations and false echoes are detected and discounted.
2. Operate radar
   • Radar is operated in accordance with standard procedures to produce required data.
   • Data produced by the radar is interpreted and used to assist command decisions, taking into account known limitations and errors associated with the equipment.
   • Faults or difficulties within the operator’s ability to correct are corrected.
   • Any faults or difficulties beyond the operator’s ability to correct are referred to supervisor and action is taken as directed.
   • Data is provided to supervisor or user.
   • Administration is completed in accordance with standard procedures.
   • Operational maintenance is conducted as required.
