METAR
The METAR screen displays graphical Aviation Routine Weather Reports with a color
coded flag at weather reporting airports. A METAR is an hourly Aviation Routine Weather
Report from the reporting airport (not all airports have a forecast). METARs issued in the
U.S. and Canada generally provide METAR information about the airport, date and time,
wind direction and speed, visibility, precipitation, current weather conditions, cloud
cover and layer, temperature, barometric pressure, and any other critical data
(
Figure 5-68
).
The EFD1000/500 MAX MFD displays METARs as colored flags, depending upon the
conditions at the airport (Figure 5-40). The METAR screen displays the flags, at the airport
location from which the METAR is reported, overlaid on a basic weather map.
