What should be done during the relief briefing related to radar?

During the relief briefing, conducting alignment checks as needed is essential to ensure that the radar systems are operating correctly and are accurately detecting and tracking targets. This process involves verifying that the radar's settings, calibration, and functionality are in accordance with operational standards.

Given that radar systems are critical for effective monitoring and decision-making, alignment checks allow operators to identify any discrepancies or malfunctions before they lead to potential issues during operations. This proactive approach supports the safety and reliability of radar operations, which is vital for maintaining situational awareness.

In contrast, while completing a full technical evaluation and providing a detailed orientation to new staff may have their merits, they do not directly impact the immediate operational readiness of the radar system. Reviewing only the last flight data lacks the comprehensive approach necessary for ongoing radar performance evaluation and could overlook important information from earlier periods. Therefore, the focus on alignment checks as part of the relief briefing ensures operational integrity and readiness.
