WARNING:
Do not rely solely upon the indicators shown on the Panel Display
Pane to maneuver the aircraft.
WARNING:
The altitude displayed by Garmin Pilot™ on the Panel Page is
geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from
the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude
displayed by the aircraft altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft
altitude.
WARNING:
Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in
the Garmin Pilot™ must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the
information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so
entirely at their own risk.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of Garmin Pilot™ User documentation and the Pilot’s
Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior
to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from
Garmin Pilot™ to all available navigation sources, including the information
from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always
resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING:
Garmin Pilot™ has a very high degree of functional integrity.
However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test
capability for all conceivable failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may
be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown
by Garmin Pilot™. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such
an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated
information available in the cockpit.
WARNING:
For safety reasons, Garmin Pilot™ operational procedures must be
learned on the ground.
WARNING:
The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance
of all GPS equipment. Portions of Garmin Pilot™ utilize GPS as a precision
electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by Garmin Pilot™ can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, can become unsafe.
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
Garmin Pilot for Android User’s Guide
190-01532-00 Rev. G
WARNING:
Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary
navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved
navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance
situational awareness.
WARNING:
Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather
product age.
WARNING:
Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near,
or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data
link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING:
Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for
collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision
avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or
conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft
WARNING:
Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately
depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment,
poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground
stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display.
NOTE:
All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of Garmin Pilot™ panel and displays, are subject to change and may
not reflect the most current Garmin Pilot™ software and aviation databases.
NOTE:
Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and
may not be updated outside of normal business hours. Confirm data currency
through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR
data.

ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK
This operating handbook is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to help
with understanding how to use Garmin Pilot for reviewing aviation weather, airport
information, creating and filing flight plans, and for viewing charts, maps, and
navigation data in-flight.
ANDROID™ TRICKS FOR PILOTS
Android tablets are offered by a variety of manufactures and features can vary widely.
It is important to know the features or your individual tablet before using Garmin Pilot
for navigation. Some tablets are offered with one or two connectivity options; Wi-Fi
or Wi-Fi + Cellular. It is also important to know which connectivity option you have
before using Garmin Pilot for navigation.
There are also a few things to know about your tablets basic features and settings
that will enhance your Garmin Pilot experience. These features are not hidden, but
they may not be immediately apparent. To get completely familiar with your tablet and
its features, it is recommended that you access the User's Guide for your tablet and/or
the User's Guide for your Android version (Garmin Pilot requires Android 2.3 or later).
Some features of this application will vary between handsets and tablets. Also, the
3.0 release is only available on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above. Devices
with older versions of Android will continue to have access to Garmin Pilot 2.8.
GPS
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving capability is optional on some Android
tablets. Garmin Pilot can be used without GPS for flight planning, but the navigation
features will be inoperative. If your tablet does not include a GPS receiver, a Garmin
GLO™ portable GPS and GLONASS receiver, or a Garmin GDL 39 or GDL 39 3D
portable GPS and ADS-B receiver will be required to take advantage of the navigation
features of Garmin Pilot. Alternative or third-party GPS sources known to work with
Garmin Pilot are: Bad Elf, Dual Electronics XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS, and
GNS 5870 MFI Bluetooth GPS receiver. Other portable GPS sources may also work
with Garmin Pilot.

DISPLAY ORIENTATION
Many devices have a default setting that will enable the unit to automatically rotate
the display to either portrait or landscape according to which edge of the unit is facing
upward. This automatic setting can be quite troublesome in the cockpit as the solid-
state accelerometers are very sensitive to movement and can cause the display to
rotate unexpectedly.
The primary means of enabling/disabling the rotation lock is via the Settings Menu.
Your device may have other options to lock the display orientation, consult your User's
Guide.
Locking Display Orientation:
1)
Tap Settings > Display.
2)
Tap Auto-rotate screen to select/deselect.
GLARE REDUCTION
One limitation of some devices in the cockpit, is glare. There are number of ways
to mitigate the effects of this glare using aftermarket screen protectors and similar
products. However, one can do reasonably well by simply adjusting the display
brightness.
Adjusting Display Brightness:
1)
Tap Settings > Display > Brightness.
2)
Use the slider control to manually adjust the display brightness or tap
Automatic brightness to select/deselect.
Or:
Within Garmin Pilot, tap Tools > Brightness located in the Navigation Bar
and use the slider control to set the desired display brightness.
NOTE:
To enable the in application brightness settings some Android devices
may require disabling the "Automatic brightness" setting for the system
brightness.

GENERAL GARMIN PILOT OPERATING GUIDELINES
Garmin Pilot by default will open on the Map Page. If the application has been
recently used it will resume on the most recently viewed page. From any page,, it is
possible to access any desired feature by tapping, flicking, and/or dragging your finger
on the active areas of the display that appear as buttons, slide controls, flick lists, text
fields, or icons. As with most applications, text fields automatically open a QWERTY
keyboard for easy text entry.
Also like other applications that use maps, panning is done by “touch-dragging”
the finger across the display and you can magnify or zoom by double-tapping the
display, by pinching, or use the button. Reversing your pinch or tapping the
will de-magnify or zoom out. Additionally, double-tapping the screen will increase
magnification in 50% intervals and center the map over the area tapped.

Garmin Pilot can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation and will respond
to the Android's automatic orientation feature. The map may be displayed in either
full screen or split screen in either orientation. The lower half of the display in portrait
orientation or second (non-map) display in landscape orientation has four possible
functions; Panel, Widgets, Charts, SafeTaxi, or Traffic.
• Panel Mode is customizable and can be configured to display an instrument panel
with virtual instruments to indicate GPS altitude, ground speed, vertical speed,
course, and lateral deviation as well as a table with up to 15 configurable data fields
for monitoring navigation data.
• Widget Mode enables a series of customizable data windows called ‘Widgets’ to
be displayed. Widgets offer quick access to a variety of aviation weather products
(METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, NOTAMs, etc…) for nearby or selected airports and can
also display up to 14 navigation parameters which are also configurable.
Charts, SafeTaxi, Traffic when viewed in split-screen, have the same function,
navigation, and capabilities as the full screen versions of these products, just displayed
in half screen.
Garmin Pilot requires a data connection for downloading maps and other data prior to
departure, but once you have downloaded everything needed for your flight, it is ready
to navigate. The Downloads Menu in the Garmin Pilot settings options will indicate
when new downloadable data products are available upon connection to the Internet

PLAN
Garmin Pilot's powerful capabilities start with pre-flight planning, providing pilots
with the most comprehensive aviation weather information to make better-informed
flight decisions. Pilots can check weather radar, visible and infrared cloud imagery,
METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, winds and temperatures aloft,
TFRs and lightning data. With Garmin Pilot, weather data can be overlaid on VFR
Sectionals, IFR low altitude en route charts, IFR high altitude en route charts, WAC,
or a simple map showing major roads and borders to visualize the weather for your
route. Add text-based weather widgets and use the exclusive NavTrack feature to view
weather information along the planned route.

RADAR
Weather radar data is collected from radar sites across the United States, Canada,
and select overseas locations. It is combined into a mosaic for easier display and
analysis.
The radar data displayed is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection,
processing, and dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect
the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the
data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use radar data
to penetrate hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-warning capacity for pre-
departure evaluation.
Composite data from radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is
composed of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps at different tilt
angles of the radar beam with respect to the ground. The display of the information
is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. Colors are used to identify the
different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels or Z). “Reflectivity”
(designated by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar
receiver. The dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation
intensity is displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values.
RADAR ABNORMALITIES
There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed radar images. Some, but not
all, of those include:
• Ground clutter
• Strobes and spurious radar data
• Sun strobes (when the radar antenna points directly at the sun)
• Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar
scans
• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows

RADAR LIMITATIONS
Certain limitations exist regarding radar displays. Some, but not all, are listed for
the user’s awareness:
• Surface precipitation type is estimated with shades of blue for snow and shades
of pink for indeterminate types. The actual precipitation type aloft could vary.
• Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An
individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has
no information about storms directly over the site.
• Radar coverage in Canada is only available in the southern 1/4 of the country.

The Weather Overlay provides weather icons that graphically display one of 14
parameters typically reported in a METAR. Each icon can be tapped to display the
current METAR data in both raw and translated formats. Color coded icons provide a
quick visual representation of the current weather conditions. Blue icons indicate VFR
conditions, Green icons indicate MVFR conditions, Yellow icons indicate IFR conditions
and Red icons indicate LIFR conditions. The color coding applies to Station ID, Flight
Conditions, Cloud Ceiling, Visibility, and Cloud Cover.
Wind barbs and wind speed icons are slightly different where green is used to
indicate winds of less than 10 kts, yellow is for winds greater than 10 kts and red is
used for winds greater than 20 kts. Colored icons are also used to show dew point
spread where the spreads of five degrees or greater are green, spreads of three or four
degrees are yellow and spreads of two degrees or less are red.

due to changing weather conditions. AIRMETs are displayed as green (IFR/mountain
obscuration), orange (turbulence), or blue (icing) shaded areas on the map display.
SIGMETS
A SIGMET (SIGnificant METeorological Information) advises of weather that is
potentially hazardous to all aircraft. In the contiguous United States, the following
items are covered: severe icing, severe or extreme turbulence, volcanic ash (red), dust
storms, and sandstorms that lower visibility to less than three statute miles.
A Convective SIGMET is issued for thunderstorms, isolated severe thunderstorms,
embedded thunderstorms, hail at the surface, and tornadoes.
A SIGMET is widespread and must affect or be forecast to affect an area of at least
3,000 square miles.

Winds Aloft data shows the forecasted wind speed and direction at the surface
and at selected altitudes. Altitudes can be displayed in 3,000-foot increments up to
42,000 feet MSL.
Winds Aloft are displayed using wind barbs. The wind barbs indicate wind speed
and direction. The wind speed is depicted using flags at the end of the wind barb. A
short wind flag is 5 knots, a long wind flag is 10 knots, and a filled triangle is 50 knots.
Wind barbs are also color coded to indicate wind speed. Wind direction is depicted by
the flagged end of the barb. The flagged end indicates the direction from which the
wind is coming.

METARS AND TAFS
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for
reporting weather observations. METARs are updated hourly or as needed. METARs
typically contain information about the temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation,
cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. They can also contain
information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data.
TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather forecasts.
TAFs may contain some of the same code as METAR data. It typically forecasts
significant weather changes, temporary changes, probable changes, and expected
changes in weather conditions.
METAR and TAF data are displayed as raw and/or decoded text.
Viewing METAR and TAF Information:
1)
From any page, tap Home > Airport Info.
2)
Select the Weather Tab to view METAR, TAF, and Winds Aloft for the

With Garmin Pilot, users can easily enter a flight plan and interactively edit it on
the map. Pre-loaded forms makes it quick to save and reuse data for frequently flown
routes. And when the flight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot make it simple to file, cancel or
close the flight plan via DTC DUAT or CSC DUATS.
TRIP PLANNING
NOTE:
A data connection (i.e., Wi-Fi or cellular) is required to receive preflight
weather briefings, file, amend, cancel or close flight plans from Garmin Pilot.
The Trip Planning Page manages all of the trip planning details for each trip. When
a new trip is created and activated on the Trip Planning Page it becomes the active
flight plan. Flight plans created on the Flight Plan Page do not become the active trip
plan. The Flight Plan must be imported to become the active trip. Trips created on the
Trip Planning Page will default to a direct-to route from departure to destination. Add
additional waypoints in the route field by entering fixes, Nav Aids, airway, departures,
arrivals or airports. For Long or complex routes use the Flight Plan page to create the
flight plan and then import.
Complete the trip plan by entering pilot information, aircraft information, departure/
arrival times, altitude, airspeed, etc.. Some of the data will be auto-filled based on
data from your Garmin Pilot account. Once all mandatory fields have been completed,
Garmin Pilot creates a trip summary, and navlog. If Garmin Pilot has been linked to a
DUATS service provider, Garmin Pilot will retrieve a DUATS Standard Weather Briefing
for the route of flight for the Estimate Time of Departure (ETD). Since Garmin Pilot is
connected to a DUATS account, flight plans can also be filed, amended, canceled or
closed within Garmin Pilot.

Trips can be cloned and/or deleted on the Trip Planning Page. Cloning a trip copies
the current trip. Any changes made after the clone is created are not copied. The
selected trip can not be deleted. Cloned trips are saved in the Trips List. All trip data
is cloned including pilot information, aircraft information, route of flight and all other
associated data. Trips that have been cloned are available for use at a future date.
Activate a cloned trip, change the date and all applicable data, refresh the briefing, and
the trip is ready to be filed.

MAP ZOOM
When a more detailed Chart is available, Garmin Pilot automatically switches to
the more detailed chart as you continue to zoom in. For example, if VFR WAC is the
current Base Chart, as you zoom in, the base chart detail will automatically change
to VFR Sectional scale and detail. Continuing to zoom in over an area that has a TAC
chart, Garmin Pilot will continue to zoom in to TAC scale, or the highest level of detail
available for that area. When zooming out, the map scale will return to the selected
level. For example, if you zoom out on a VFR Sectional Base Map, Garmin Pilot will not
change to a VFR WAC scale.

DATA LINK TRAFFIC (OPTIONAL)
The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is a Bluetooth® enabled receive-only data link radio with
on-board GPS, 978 MHz (Universal Access Transceiver frequency band), and 1090 MHz
Extended Squitter (1090 ES) receivers. It is designed to receive, process, and output
traffic (ADS-B air-to-air, and TIS-B traffic information), and weather (Flight Information
Service-Broadcast (FIS-B)) information to Garmin Pilot through Bluetooth.
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a surveillance technology
deployed across the United States as the cornerstone of the FAA’s Next Generation Air
Transportation System (NextGen). ADS-B enables improved surveillance services, both
air-to-air and air-to-ground, especially in areas where radar is ineffective due to terrain
or where it is impractical or cost prohibitive. Initial applications of air-to-air ADS-B are
for “advisory” use only, enhancing a pilot’s visual acquisition of other nearby ADS-B
equipped aircraft either when airborne or on the airport surface.

ADS-B System
For the purpose of distinguishing between levels of ADS-B service, there are three
classifications of aircraft or system capability; ADS-B In, ADS-B Out, and ADS-B
participating. ADS-B In refers to the capability to receive ADS-B information. ADS-B
Out refers to the capability to transmit ADS-B information. ADS-B participating refers
to the capability to both send and receive ADS-B information. Aircraft lacking either
ADS-In, ADS-B Out, or both ADS-B capabilities may also be referred to as ADS-B non-
participating aircraft.
Currently, rule-compliant ADS-B Out capability in the United States requires a
TSO’ed SBAS-enabled GPS, such as a Garmin GPS 400W or similar, and one of two
possible data links: 1090 ES transponder or a 978 MHz UAT. Either data link system
is capable of transmitting the aircraft’s position, velocity, identification, and other
information every second to compatible aircraft and ground stations called Ground
Based Transceivers (GBTs).
Because 1090 ES transponders and UATs operate on different frequencies, aircraft
not similarly equipped cannot transmit/receive data link information directly to/from
each other. Instead, operation within range of a GBT is required to receive data link

116
information on both frequencies. The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is unique in its ADS-B In
capability since it can receive data link information from both 1090 ES transponders
and UATs.
Thus, the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D receives traffic information directly from any ADS-B
Out aircraft within range as well as the rebroadcast of ADS-B information from any
nearby GBT. This rebroadcast is called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Rebroadcast
(ADS-R) and is automatically triggered by the detection of an ADS-B participating
aircraft within the service volume of the GBT. As a 978 MHz (UAT frequency) receiver,
the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D can receive both the Traffic Information Service-Broadcast
(TIS-B) and Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) provided in conjunction with
ADS-R services when in range of a GBT.
FIS-B service is provided continuously, but ADS-R including TIS-B will only be
broadcast by a GBT when an ADS-B participating aircraft is within the GBT’s defined
service volume. In this case, a GBT will only rebroadcast TIS-B information relative
to the ADS-B participating aircraft. Only traffic that is within 15 nm lateral
and 3,500’ vertical of the ADS-B participating aircraft is provided in the
broadcast. Non-participating traffic aircraft located farther than 15 nm laterally and
3,500’ vertically from the participating aircraft is are excluded from the information
transmitted by the GBT.
TIS-B traffic information includes non-participating aircraft detected by ATC
surveillance radar. As TIS-B data is derived from ATC surveillance radar data, TIS-B
traffic position updates typically occur every three to thirteen seconds. Therefore,
TIS-B traffic may be displayed with degraded positional accuracy. Aircraft
without operating transponders are invisible to TIS-B. Aircraft operating
outside of the ATC radar coverage area are also not displayed.
Since the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is a receive-only device, even when used onboard
an aircraft equipped with a qualifying GPS and 1090 ES transponder, a GBT may not
identify it as an ADS-B participating aircraft. The squitter of some 1090 ES transponders,
including the Garmin GTX 23ES, must be configured to communicate that the aircraft
has 978 MHz receive capability in order to be identified as an ADS-B participating
aircraft.

FLIGHT ID DISPLAY AND MOTION VECTOR
The Flight IDs of other aircraft (when available) can be displayed on the Traffic Page.
When a flight ID or call sign is received, it will appear below the corresponding traffic
symbol when enabled. Traffic ground track is indicated on Garmin Pilot by the Motion
Vector, a short line, extending in the direction of target movement or relative movement.
The track vector has two settings, TargetTrend™ shown as a green vector, or Absolute
shown as a white vector. Absolute vectors extend from the traffic symbol showing the
traffic's ground track. TargetTrend traffic vectors are displayed relative to your position
and ground speed. For example if traffic is ahead of you and traveling in the same
direction but at a slower ground speed, the motion vector would point opposite of its
direction of flight, indicating that you are overtaking the traffic. Thus, the TargetTrend
motion vector is relative to you, where absolute motion vectors are based on the traffic's
speed and direction. The end of the Motion Vector represents the predicted absolute or
relative location of the traffic, based the traffic's reported track, ground speed and the
Vector Duration setting (15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds).

DATA LINK WEATHER (FIS-B)
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the
age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time
delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the
weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older
than the indicated weather product age.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or
around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data link weather
products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D can also receive and, when connected to Garmin Pilot,
display Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B). FIS-B is a subscription-free
weather service that is broadcast by Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) over the 978
MHz UAT frequency band as part of the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation
System (NextGen). To receive FIS-B weather information, the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D
must be within range and line-of-sight of an operating GBT. Reception may be affected
by factors including altitude or terrain. GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D-supported FIS-B weather
products include METARs, TAFs, NEXRAD (Regional and CONUS), AIRMETs, SIGMETs,
PIREPs, Winds and Temperatures Aloft, and NOTAMs.
Viewing FIS-B Weather product Status:
1)
From any page, tap Home > Settings.
2)
Tap the GDL 39 Tab.
Viewing Ground Station Status:
1)
From any page, tap Home > Settings.

FIS-B WEATHER PRODUCTS
FIS-B weather broadcasts are updated regularly and may take approximately ten
minutes to transmit all available weather data. Therefore, not all available weather
data is immediately available. No pilot action is required to receive FIS-B weather
information. Weather product status can be viewed on the Settings Page under the
GDL 39 tab.

When a FIS-B weather product is active on a map or in a Weather Widget, the age of
the data is displayed. The age of the product is based on the time difference between
when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time. Garmin Pilot
combines the CONUS and Regional Radar into one map overlay, the time shown is for
the Regional Radar product only.

RADAR (FIS-B)
Weather radar data is collected from radar sites across the United States. It is
combined into a mosaic for easier display and analysis. Garmin Pilot combines the
CONUS and Regional Radar FIS-B products into one map overlay (Radar (FIS-B).
The radar data displayed is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection,
processing, and dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect
the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the
data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use radar data
to maneuver in or near areas of hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-warning
capacity for pre-departure evaluation.
Composite data from radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is composed
of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps at different title angles
of the radar beam with respect to the ground. The display of the information is color-
coded to indicate the weather severity level. Colors are used to identify the different
echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels or Z). “Reflectivity” (designated
by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The
dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is
displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values.

NEXRAD Abnormalities
There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed NEXRAD images. Some, but
not all, of those include:
• Ground clutter
• Strobes and spurious radar data
• Sun strobes, when the radar antenna points directly at the sun
• Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar
scans
• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows
• Poor reception from Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) can cause portions of the
received radar imagery to not be displayed
NEXRAD Limitations
Certain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar displays. Some, but not all, are
listed for the user’s awareness:
• NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine
cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (hail vs. rain). For example, it is not
possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain.
• Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An
individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has
no information about storms directly over the site.
• Radar coverage in Canada is only available in the southern 1/4 of the country.
neXrAD intensity
Colors are used to identify the different NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity)
measured in dBZ (decibels of Z). “Reflectivity” (designated by the letter Z) is the
amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase
as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors
corresponding to the dBZ values.

AIRMETS
An AIRMET (AIRmen’s METeorological Information) can be especially helpful for
pilots of light aircraft that have limited flight capability or instrumentation. An AIRMET
must affect or be forecast to affect an area of at least 3,000 square miles at any one
time. AIRMETs are routinely issued for six-hour periods and are amended as necessary
due to changing weather conditions. AIRMETs are displayed as green (IFR/mountain
obscuration), orange (turbulence), or blue (icing) shaded areas on the map display.
SIGMETS
A SIGMET (SIGnificant METeorological Information) advises of weather that is
potentially hazardous to all aircraft. In the contiguous United States, the following
items are covered: severe icing, severe or extreme turbulence, volcanic ash (red), dust
storms, and sandstorms that lower visibility to less than three statute miles.
A Convective SIGMET is issued for thunderstorms, isolated severe thunderstorms,
embedded thunderstorms, hail at the surface, and tornadoes.
A SIGMET is widespread and must affect or be forecast to affect an area of at least
3,000 square miles.

METARS AND TAFS
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for
reporting weather observations. METARs are updated hourly or as needed. METARs
typically contain information about the temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation,
cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. They can also contain
information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data.
TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather forecasts.
TAFs may contain some of the same code as METAR data. It typically forecasts
significant weather changes, temporary changes, probable changes, and expected
changes in weather conditions.
METAR and TAF data are displayed as raw and/or decoded text.
