HAZARD AVOIDANCE
ECHO TOPS
NOTE:
Echo tops cannot be displayed at the same time as NEXRAD or Cloud Tops are selected for display.
The Echo Tops weather product (Figure 6-14) shows the location, elevation, and direction of the highest
radar echo. The highest radar echo does not indicate the actual top of a storm or clouds. It indicates the
highest altitude at a which NEXRAD radar was able to detect precipitation. Note this Echo Tops altitude
may be significantly higher than the highest altitude airborne weather radar was able to detect precipitation,
particularly at longer ranges from the airborne weather radar antenna. See section 6.3 for more information
on airborne weather radar. The Echo Tops weather product, like all data link weather products, does not
provide real-time information.
Figure 6-14 Echo Tops Weather Product
Displaying Echo Tops information:
1)
Select the Weather Data Link (XM) Page with the
FMS
Knob.
2)
Select the
ECHO TOP
Softkey.
To display the Echo Tops legend, select the
LEGEND
Softkey when Echo Tops is selected for display. Since
Echo Tops and Cloud Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude, display of these weather products
is mutually exclusive. When Echo Tops is activated, NEXRAD and Cloud Tops data are removed.
