The Animated NExRAD selection is avail-
able only after the xM system has down-
loaded at least three NExRAD images. These
are delivered approximately every 6 minutes
indicating that for the first 18 minutes of flight
the NExRAD cannot be animated on the dis-
play. Once the animation is possible the
AVAILABLE message will appear on the
menu.
The available Overlays have ON or OFF se-
lections that are controlled with the CCP. The
METAR overlay will change the airport sym-
bols to visually indicate weather conditions.
The SIGMET overlay will indicate areas of
SIGMET coverage with different colored
boxes corresponding with the coordinates af-
fected. The A/C FLIGHT INFO will display
or remove the aircraft icon to help orient pres-
ent position with displayed weather. The FMS
course line is not viewable on the dedicated
weather page.
Choosing OVERLAY SELECTIONS will
bring up another menu (Figure 16-113). This
menu allows the pilot to select which items
are visible on the dedicated weather page.
NExRAD controls the display of radar im-
ages. ECHO TOPS controls the display of
movement and speed arrows for significant
storms. METAR will change the airport sym-
bol colors to visually indicate weather condi-
tions. AIRPORT IDENTS controls the
display of ICAO identifiers next to each cir-
cular airport symbol. SIGMET will choose the
display of outlined boxes to display areas of
SIGMET weather conditions, to include Con-
vective SIGMETs. A/C FLIGHT INFO will
display the aircraft symbol and FMS gener-
ated origin and destination airports but will
not display the FMS course line. LIGHT-
NING will allow the display of lightning bolt
symbols in areas of electrical discharge. This
last feature is not connected to an onboard
stormscope but is information coming from
the xM network.
The last item, OVERLAY LEGENDS, defines
what the colors and symbols represent on the
dedicated weather page (Figure 16-114). Ad-
ditionally, the ECHO TOPS overlay will in-
clude textual descriptions of storm intensity
that are defined on the LEGENDS page.
