    Default Aircraft Radar

    Any info on V1 detecting radar from aircraft?

    Scenario: In the middle of the desert going to Las Vegas. Posted signs say "Speed detected by Radar"

    LOL, I think your a little mixed up.

    The sign is there to inform you that there are patrol cars using radar guns to catch speeders.

    Aircraft VASCAR is the use of planes to time your speed between two points, usually painted white line on the ground. Here in Florida we have lots of that, some places have warning signs to the effect of such sneakyness.

    There is no use of radr from the air, however be weary of over head bridges that has a unit targeting people. Worst is reports of rear targeting.

    Sorry, I forgot tp include the word "Aircraft" in that example.

    Sign reads "Speed detected by Aircraft"

    ...although I am "mixed up" on occasion

    Well that makes more sense.

    So yes, basicly they are warning you of the possibility that VASCAR by aircraft is used in that area to catch speeders.

    The aircraft cannot use Radar for speed detection. Any speed enforcement using aircraft is a variant of VASCAR.
