Which operational support flight performs maintenance on radar, NAVAIDS, weather, and ATC radio systems?

• A. Airfield Operations Flight
• B. Weather Flight
• C. Communications Flight
• D. Radar, Airfield and Weather Systems (RAWS) Flight

Answer: (D)

The key idea is which unit is responsible for maintaining the radar, navigation aids, weather systems, and ATC radios that keep airfield operations safe and coordinated. The Radar, Airfield and Weather Systems Flight is dedicated to maintaining all of those critical systems, ensuring radar coverage, functioning NAVAIDS (like ILS, VOR, TACAN), weather observation and display gear, and the radios used by ATC. That integrated scope is why this flight best fits the description. Other flights handle different areas of operations: Airfield Operations focuses on the physical airfield and its safety aspects on the ground; Weather Flight provides weather data and forecasting support rather than maintaining radar or navigation equipment; Communications Flight deals with base communications infrastructure, not the specialized ATC radar, NAVAIDS, and weather systems.
