Radar Minimum Sector Altitude chart
15.06.2011
Submission:
We have a Terminal Approach Radar comprised of a primary and a secondary mono-pulse radars. The primary radar will be out of service for some time.The question is:
Is the Radar Minimum Sector Altitude chart still valid?
I have checked Chapter 6, SRE in Doc 8168 and did not find anything defining the type of surveillance radar used. I have also checked Doc 4444 and did not find any restriction to the use of a secondary radar for tactical vectoring.

Answer or Commentary:
I.W.From what I have read it does not depend on the type of radar, just the distance from the radar installation. So I would say that your Radar Minimum Sector Altitude chart is still valid.
