Hazard Avoidance Flight Planning RADAR Legend NEXRAD Data Additional Features Index Appendices SATELLITE MOSAIC Satellite Mosaic displays infrared composite images of cloud cover taken by geostationary weather satellites. The Satellite Mosaic provides up to seven levels of cloud cover. RADAR Legend Satellite Mosaic/Cloud Tops Data 82 Garmin aera 795/796 Pilot's Guide 190-01194-00 Rev. A Hazard Avoidance ECHO TOPS Echo Tops are derived from NEXRAD radar and indicate the highest altitude at which precipitation is falling. Echo Tops at or above the altitude you select are displayed, in 5, 000 foot increments up to 70, 000 ft. Echo Tops can be helpful in determining the severity of thunderstorms. Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Echo Tops Data Echo Tops Altitudes WINDS ALOFT 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 or a wind streamline depending on the selected range. The wind barbs indicate wind speed and direction. The wind streamline indicates wind direction with arrows. The wind barbs always point in the direction that the wind is coming from. 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 triangle flag is 50 knots.

A strike icon represents a strike that has occurred within a two-kilometer region and within the last seven minutes. The exact location of the lightning strike is not displayed. Lightning Data STORM CELLS The Storm Cells feature displays storms as well as the storm's projected path in the immediate future. The direction of the storm is displayed by an arrow. The map range at which the arrow is displayed depends on the storm cell's speed. The tip of the arrow indicates where the storm should be in 15 minutes. Critical information about the storm cell (tops and intensity) can be viewed by selecting the storm cell with the map pointer. Touching the Map Feature Button will display additional information.
