Method for operating a wind turbine, comprising: - providing the wind turbine including an elongated stand apparatus, a generator rotatably mounted on the stand apparatus via a yaw system, and a rotor which is coupled to the generator via a rotor hub and has an elongated rotor blade, wherein a rotational axis of the rotor in the direction of the generator can be readjusted in its horizontal alignment with respect to a wind direction; - determining a position of a radar system with respect to the wind turbine; - determining at least one yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) for aligning the rotational axis of the rotor as a function of the determined position, which is not intended to be permanently assumed for alignment of the rotational axis about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus; - operating the wind turbine, wherein the at least one determined yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) is not permanently assumed when the rotational axis of the rotor is aligned about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus, characterized by the steps of: - determining the wind direction; - determining a value for the alignment of the rotational axis of the rotor as a function of the determined wind direction; - aligning the rotational axis of the rotor with an edge of the yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) which is not intended to be permanently assumed for alignment of the rotational axis of the rotor about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus, if the determined value is within the yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) not intended to be permanently assumed for an alignment of the rotational axis of the rotor about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus. - providing the wind turbine including an elongated stand apparatus, a generator rotatably mounted on the stand apparatus via a yaw system, and a rotor which is coupled to the generator via a rotor hub and has an elongated rotor blade, wherein a rotational axis of the rotor in the direction of the generator can be readjusted in its horizontal alignment with respect to a wind direction; - determining a position of a radar system with respect to the wind turbine; - determining at least one yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) for aligning the rotational axis of the rotor as a function of the determined position, which is not intended to be permanently assumed for alignment of the rotational axis about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus; - operating the wind turbine, wherein the at least one determined yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) is not permanently assumed when the rotational axis of the rotor is aligned about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus, characterized by the steps of: - determining the wind direction; - determining a value for the alignment of the rotational axis of the rotor as a function of the determined wind direction; - aligning the rotational axis of the rotor with an edge of the yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) which is not intended to be permanently assumed for alignment of the rotational axis of the rotor about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus, if the determined value is within the yaw angle sector (121, 122, 123, 124) not intended to be permanently assumed for an alignment of the rotational axis of the rotor about the longitudinal axis of the stand apparatus.
