4.1 Introduction to WeatherView
The WeatherView application displays windshear and microburst alerts in text format.
Windshear and microburst alerts are warnings generated by the system when the calculated
windshear and microburst conditions exist.
WeatherView also indicates wind direction and wind speed at each runway for arrival,
centerfield, and departure, the estimated location of the first encounter with the windshear
conditions, the estimated headwind gain or loss, and the status of the windshear calculation.
WeatherView typically also contains the Graphical Windshear Display, indicating the
windshear alerts in graphical format on the airport image.
Optionally, WeatherView can also include weather data fields for other weather parameters,
or a notification pane containing information about weather reports.

4.2 WeatherView User Interface
The WeatherView user interface consists of different data elements, arranged and displayed
depending on system configuration. Typical data elements include the LLWAS screen, wind
roses, identification data, graphical windshear display, and optionally, fields for other
weather data.
There are standard display options available for different user profiles. In addition, optional
features may be selected and customized displays designed. The following sections describe
the typical elements and options, including options available only when the LLWAS system
is integrated with an AWOS system.
WeatherView displays are individually configured for each system. Thus, the display
elements and functionalities presented in this chapter may differ from the ones in your
system. Always refer to your system-specific documentation or training material to get the
most accurate information corresponding to your system.
If the LLWAS system is integrated with AviMet AWOS system, the LLWAS screen is part of
the WeatherView application in AviMet AWOS.
