  • Know about new Rain Rate Classification product (RRC)

  • Identify how performancee checks behave with a forced restart

  • List significant changes to the Shift Change Checklist

  • Identify which SAILS/MRLE settings are retained when the MSF changes VCP to clear air mode

  • Learn about restarting failed tasks

  • Notable other bug fixes

The operator training for RDA/RPG Build 21 deployment consists of an on-line Articulate module.
