Radar range
The range of a radar for surface search is dependant on the flight level the aircraft is flying, for the CASA at 25,000ft it will have a maximum range of 160nm. It is a simple mathematical formula D=(sqrt(1.5 x H))/1.2
D is nm
H is feet
sqrt is square root
The lower you fly the lower the range, at a search height of 1500ft the range is 40nm.
