HAZARD AVOIDANCE
Displaying Echo Tops information:
1) Select the Weather Data Link Page with the FMS Knob.
2) Select the ECHO TOPS Softkey.
To display the Echo Tops legend, select the LEGEND Softkey when Echo Tops is selected for display. Since
Echo Tops and Cloud Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude, display of these weather products
is mutually exclusive. When Echo Tops is activated, NEXRAD and Cloud Tops data are removed.
