What is the maximum distance error between the actual radar location and the true radar location as determined by Map, Modified Survey, or Survey?

• A. Azimuth Uncertainty
• B. GIP Uncertainty
• C. Location Uncertainty
• D. Compass Error

Answer: (C)

The distance error in this context is about how far the reported radar position can be from its true position when using Map, Modified Survey, or Survey. That distance discrepancy is what we call Location Uncertainty—the radial deviation around the estimated position that defines how accurate the radar’s location is in space. This is different from azimuth uncertainty, which would be about bearing angles to targets, or compass error, which deals with misreadings of direction due to magnetic effects, and it isn’t about a specific target point like GIP. So the maximum distance error tied to the radar’s reported position is best described as Location Uncertainty.
