In this episode of More Right Rudder, we welcome Sean Sherman, aviation technologist owner of Skeeter Enterprises, to demystify two increasingly relevant technologies in general aviation: RADAR and LiDAR altimeters. Whether you're a flight instructor looking to improve your students' understanding of new cockpit tools or a GA pilot exploring your next avionics upgrade, this episode will help you make sense of the options.

This episode includes:

The fundamental differences between RADAR and LiDAR technologies
How each system measures altitude—and how that matters in real-world conditions
Factors to consider when choosing the right technology for your aircraft and mission profile
Instructional tips for CFIs incorporating these systems into flight training
Safety considerations, including limitations, environmental factors, and failure modes
