HAZARD AVOIDANCE
ECHO TOPS
NOTE:
Echo tops cannot be displayed at the same time as NEXRAD or Cloud Tops are selected for display.
Echo Tops data (Figure 6-14) shows the location, elevation, and direction of the highest radar echo. The
highest radar echo does not indicate the top of a storm or clouds; rather it indicates the highest altitude at
which precipitation is detected. Information is derived from NEXRAD data.
Figure 6-14 Echo Tops Data
Displaying Echo Tops information:
1)
Select the Weather Data Link (XM) Page with the
FMS
Knob.
2)
Select the
ECHO TOP
Softkey.
To display the Echo Tops legend, select the
LEGEND
Softkey when Echo Tops is selected for display. Since
Echo Tops and Cloud Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude, display of these weather products
is mutually exclusive. When Echo Tops is activated, NEXRAD and Cloud Tops data are removed.
