USING THE FIS TEXT
PAGE
Press the WX Function Select
Key until the FIS Textual Page
is displayed as shown in Figure
2-53.
NOTE: If a notification such as
that shown in Figure 2-54 is
displayed, it may be that the
system has not had time to
acquire a signal. If this notifi-
cation is still present after a few
minutes, refer to the FIS NOTI-
FICATIONS section of this sec-
tion.
If no METAR is available in the
selected area, a notification
such as that shown in Figure 2-
55 will be displayed.
The example displayed in
Figure 2-53 is a METAR report
for KIXD, which was selected
as a User Defined area.
Press the METAR MAP
Softkey to display the graphical
METAR for the KIXD as shown
in Figure 2-56. Press the
MORE INFO Softkey to return
the textual report.
The METAR MAP Softkey will
change depending on the
selected weather product. In
this case a METAR is being
viewed so the label displays
METAR MAP. If viewing an
AIRMET, the label would show
AIRMET MAP and so on. In
short, pressing this softkey will
display the graphical weather
product for the appropriate tex-
tual weather product selected.
NOTE: See Appendix B for a
list of common weather abbre-
viations.
