What is the maximum altitude that can be measured using a radio altimeter?(a) 100ft(b) 500ft(c) 50 ft(d) 5000ftI had been asked this question in an interview.My question is taken from Radar Altimeter topic in portion Celestial Navigation, Doppler and Altimeter Radars of Avionics

Answer» RIGHT choice is (d) 5000ft

Easy EXPLANATION: Radio altimeters are GENERALLY used for measuring altitude during LANDING or take off. A radio altimeter gives the distance between the aircraft and the GROUND and not the pressure altitude. Maximum range of a radio altimeter is 5000ft but is usually switched to at 2500ft.
