What must be updated when configuring the radar system during setup?

When configuring the radar system during setup, it is crucial to update the SAA (Surveillance Area of Applicability), often referred to as R357 when appropriate. This update ensures that the radar system is aware of the specific areas it is responsible for monitoring and the criteria for detecting and tracking targets.

Correctly configuring the SAA allows for enhanced performance by ensuring that the radar system operates effectively within its designated operational area while minimizing false targets and unnecessary alerts. Additionally, having the correct SAA setup is essential for compliance with operational regulations and guidelines, ensuring safety and efficiency in radar operations.

Updating flight path profiles, system alerts and alarms, and operational log entries, while important, does not directly pertain to the initial setup configuration of the radar system like the SAA does. These elements may be part of ongoing operational procedures but do not specifically address the critical area of surveillance applicability during system configuration.
