In manual mode (MULTISCAN switch to MAN) the radar beam is controlled via the TILT rotary knob. The flight
crew uses the following three features to operate the Collins WXR2100 Weather Radar in the Airbus A318/319
family (if MULTISCAN MAN is selected):
Gain control, which adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver (and should usually be set to AUTO).
Antenna tilt, that controls the angle between the center of the beam and the horizon
Range control of the ND, that has an essential influence on the optimum tilt setting
