I think your understanding of radar tilt needs some improvement. That almost all ground return.

@@marklittle9913 Hi Mark, Thank you for your comment. If the radar you operate doesn’t have a vertical profile mode, and based on your comment I suspect it does not, you will need to paint less ground. In this case Archie Trammel recommends the outer quadrant painting ground return. The horizontal view shows the water alright, but FNGs have a harder time trusting it. The vertical profile is not sensitive to ground return and therefore paints rain more clearly. With over 10,000 hours flying with various PA46 radars I have learned the reliability of the vertical profile. It is the easiest way to see rain. Look through my play list of rain showers and thunderstorms and see if you don’t agree. Let me know your questions. I look forward to working with you. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR

@@RWRPilotTraining I quit counting at 25k hours, and yes, we have a vertical profile mode. Archie was a smart dude, but he's been gone a long time and there have been significant advancements since his day. Raise that tilt and get away from from the ground clutter. Cheers.
