PIREPs
Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) describe in-flight weather encountered by pilots.
A PIREP may contain unforecast adverse weather conditions, such as low in-flight
visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, turbulence, and type of aircraft flown. PIREPs
are issued as either Routine (UA) or Urgent (UUA).

2) Select the MORE WX Softkey.
3) Select the PIREPS Softkey.
4) Press the RANGE Knob and pan to the desired weather report. A gray
circle will appear around the weather report when it is selected.
