Aerospace | 1. A cathode-ray indicator in which a signal appears on a radial line. Distance is indicated radially and bearing as an angle. 2. In radar technique, a cathode-ray indicator on which blips produced by signals from reflecting objects and transponders are shown in plan position, thus forming a maplike display. Also called P-indicator, P-scan, P-scope.A north-upward plan position indicator has north at the top of the indicator regardless of the heading; a heading-upward plan position indicator has the heading of the craft maintained at the top of the indicator. On a delayed plan position indicator the start of the sweep is delayed so that the center represents a selected range. This allows distant targets to be displayed on a short range scale, thus providing larger scale presentation. An open-center plan position indicator has no signal displayed within a set distance from the center. An off-center plan position indicator is one modified so that the center about which the trace rotates can be moved from the center of the screen to provide a larger scale for distant targets. A master plan position indicator controls remote indicators or repeaters.Abbreviation PPI. (references) |
