HAZARD AVOIDANCE
The system also shows METAR flags and their associated text on the ‘FPL - Active Flight Plan’ Page on the
MF.D. The system shows a solid METAR flag next to waypoints in the flight plan with an available METAR.
Hollow METAR flags appear next to flight plan waypoints which are not directly associated with a METAR,
but a METAR exists within 30 NM of the flight plan waypoint. When this occurs, additional information
appears with the METAR text on the ‘FPL - Active Flight Plan’ Page indicating the origin and relative location
of the source METAR.

Knob to remove the cursor or press the
FPL
Key to exit the Active Flight Plan Page.
Original METAR text is also accessible on navigation maps displaying METAR flags. When the map pointer
is panned over a METAR flag, the METAR text is shown in a box near the flag.
