## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT RETURNED DUE TO DURING CLIMB, THE RADAR MONITOR IMAGE DISAPPEARED, INDICATING "ANT FAULT".  MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL REPLACED AND TESTED THE WEATHER RADAR ANT AND RECEIVER TRANSMITTER IAW MM 34-41-01/-04 AND MM 34-41-00, ALL CORRECT.  THE OVERWEIGHT INSPECTION WAS NOT NECESSARY DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH 135,000 POUNDS AND THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LANDING WEIGHT IS 139,500 POUNDS.
