METARS AND TAFS
NOTE:
METAR information is only displayed within the installed navigation database service area.
METARs (METeorological Aerodrome Reports) typically contain information about the temperature,
dewpoint, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, cloud base heights, visibility, and barometric pressure at an
airport or observation station. They can also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and
other critical data. METARs reflect hourly observations; non-routine updates include the code “SPECI” in the
report. METARs are shown as colored flags at airports that provide them.

TAFs (Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts) are weather predictions for specific airports typically within a 24-
hour period, but may span a longer period. TAFs may include forecast wind, visibility, weather phenomena,
and sky conditions using METAR codes.
METAR and TAF text are displayed on the Weather Information Page. METAR data is displayed first in a
decoded fashion, followed by the original text. Note the original text may contain additional information not
found in the decoded version. TAF information, when available, is displayed only in its original form.

On the Weather Data Link (CNXT) Page, select the
METAR
Softkey.
