Hazard Avoidance
PIREPs
Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information for a particular route of
flight. 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).

Winds Aloft
Winds Aloft data shows the forecasted wind speed and direction at the surface, and at
selected altitudes. Altitudes can be displayed in 3,000 ft increments up to 42,000 feet MSL.
Winds Aloft are displayed using wind barbs depending on the selected range. The wind
barbs indicate wind speed and direction. The wind streamline indicates wind direction with
arrows.
The wind barbs always point in the direction the wind is coming from. The wind speed is
depicted using flags at the end of the wind barb. A short wind flag is 5 knots, a long wind flag
is 10 knots, and a triangle flag is 50 knots.
