Huh???

Again....the days of looking at an oscilloscope to work out a radar return
have long gone. Nowadays the "computer" not merely displays it
for you in conjunction with other fun info e.g. a map but also will tell
you what it thinks the return is (often by type) as well as if it has a IFF
id etc.

The average pilot nowadays is dependant upon his computers to "see the
information" for him, ranging from terrain/radar mapping the ground
below to the GPS, lazer gyro navigation etc.etc.etc.
