Original METAR text is also accessible while panning the map cursor over a METAR flag on any map page
on which a METAR is displayed. The METAR text is shown in a box near the METAR flag.
In addition, METAR flags and their associated text are displayed on the Active Flight Plan Page on the MFD.
METAR flags appears next to waypoints in the flight plan with an associated METAR.
Displaying original METAR text on the FPL - ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page:
1) Select the FPL - ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page on the MFD.
2) Push the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired waypoint. The METAR text will appear in the 'SELECTED
WAYPOINT WEATHER' window below.
4) When finished, push the FMS Knob to remove the cursor or press the FPL Key to exit the FPL - ACTIVE FLIGHT
PLAN Page.
To display the METAR legend on the MAP - WEATHER DATA LINK (XM) Page, push the LEGEND Softkey
when METARs are enabled for display.
Information in the METAR text determines the color of the METAR flag. A gray METAR flag appears for
a reporting station when its METAR text does not contain adequate information to determine the METAR
category (e.g. VFR, IFR).
