NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight
Restriction TFR information. Always confirm TFR information through official
sources such as Flight Service Stations of Air Traffic Control.
Temporary Flight Restrictions, or TFRs, temporarily restrict all aircraft from entering
the selected airspace unless a waiver has been issued. TFRs are routinely issued for
activities such as sporting events, dignitary visits, military depots, and forest fires. TFRs
are represented as an area highlighted by red (active) or yellow (not yet active).

Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information. When significant
weather conditions are reported or forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities are
required to solicit PIREPs. A PIREP may contain unforecast adverse weather conditions,
such as low in-flight visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, and turbulence. PIREPs are
issued as either Routine (UA) (blue) or Urgent (UUA) (yellow).
PIREP text is displayed on the Weather (WX) Page. An abbreviated version can be
viewed by panning over the PIREP box. Using the Map Pointer, highlight the desired
PIREP and press the ENT Key to display the decoded text.
