AVQ-50 Weather Radar
Pilot's Handbook


The AVQ-50 Weather Avoidance Radar set new standards in it's day for compactness, light weight and simplicity in airborne radar equipment.

This Pilot's Handbook, dated 1958,  is in Very Good to Excellent condition, with no degradation of the covers or plastic comb binder.  All pages are crisp and clean with no annotations or markings of any sort.  Please see photos for more detail.

It must have been an easy system to operate, because this handbook consists of only 16 pages.  Approximately 6" X 9".

Shipping via USPS First Class Mail.

I just finished reading an interesting paper on the AVQ-50 which you can see also.  It was found as a .pdf, cached on an RCA Engineering website at:  http://rca.vobj.org/lookup.php?topic=Radar%2C+weather
