SIGMETS AND AIRMETS
SIGMETs (SIGnificant METeorological Information) and AIRMETS (Airmen’s Meteorological Information)
are broadcast for potentially hazardous weather that is considered of extreme importance to all aircraft. A
convective SIGMET is issued for hazardous convective weather. A localized SIGMET is a significant weather
condition occurring at a localized geographical position.
Press the
SIG/AIR Softkey to show SIGMET and AIRMET data. SIGMET and AIRMET data display on the
Weather Data Link Page (as shown in Figure 6-22). They do not display on other G1000 maps.
