SECTION 10 – HAZARD
AVOIDANCE
Weather Alert
This feature may be used to indicate the presence of
heavy precipitation beyond the currently displayed range
and 80 to 320 nm from the aircraft’s present position.
Weather Alert targets appear as red bands along the outer
range ring at the approximate azimuth of the detected
returns (Figure 10-39).
If a Weather Alert is detected within ±10° of the aircraft
heading, an alert will be displayed on the PFD in the
Messages Window as shown in Figure 10-40.
If the antenna tilt is adjusted too low, a weather alert
can be generated by ground returns. To avoid this issue,
set the display range to less than 80 nm in the terminal
area. Weather alerts can also be deactivated in the terminal
area.
