PIREPS
Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information. When significant
weather conditions are reported or forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities are
required to solicit PIREPs. A PIREP may contain unforecast adverse weather conditions,
such as low in-flight visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, and turbulence. PIREPs are
issued as either Routine (UA) (blue) or Urgent (UUA) (yellow).
PIREP text is displayed on the Weather (WX) Page. An abbreviated version can be
viewed by panning over the PIREP box. Using the Map Pointer, highlight the desired
PIREP and press the ENT Key to display the decoded text.
