HAZARD AVOIDANCE
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 display SIGMET and AIRMET data. SIGMET and AIRMET data display on
the Weather Data Link Page (Figure 6-16). They do not display on other G1000 maps.
