If no lower OVERCAST layer is programmed, then “surface” visibil-
ity will be the controlling visibility for all altitudes from the surface
up to the next highest OVERCAST layer programmed. If no higher
OVERCAST layer is programmed, this will be the controlling visi-
bility for all altitudes from the surface up to FL400 (40,000ft).
Surface:
Select visibility using UP/DOWN arrows or preset buttons as de-
sired.
Precision = 1/2 statute mile
Non Precision = 1 statute mile
CAVOK (Ceiling/Visibility OK) = 30 statute miles
NOTE: CAVOK by definition also indicates (in part) that no clouds
or precipitation exist below 5,000ft. Pressing the CAVOK button in
ELITE with Cloud Layer 3 Base set to <= (less than or equal to)
5100ft MSL will also set cloud coverage to Sky Clear (SKC) in addi-
tion to changing visibility to 30 statute miles.
Preset buttons can be used to “jump” quickly to 1/2, 1, and 30 statute
mile values respectively and then further adjusted as desired.
Visibility value selected will become the visibility from the surface
up to the next highest OVERCAST (OVC) cloud layer programmed.
If no OVERCAST layer is programmed, this will be the controlling
visibility for all altitudes from the surface up to FL400 (40,000ft).
CLOUDS
The CLOUDS Page has three Cloud/Visibility layers. Layer 1 (top),
Layer 2 (mid), and Layer 3 (bottom) respectively. Select cloud cov-
erage for each layer as desired by pressing any one of the buttons
corresponding to the following :
