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.
If a Weather Alert is detected within ±10° of the aircraft heading, an alert will be displayed on the PFD
in the Messages Window.
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.
