Operation In-Flight
PATH PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
• Avoid cells containing magenta and red areas by at least 20 nautical
miles.
• Do not deviate downwind unless absolute necessary. Your chances of
encountering severe turbulence and damaging hail are greatly reduced
by selecting the upwind side of the storm.
• If looking for a corridor, remember corridors between two cells con-
taining magenta and/or red areas should be at least 40 nautical miles
wide from the outer fringes of the radar echo. The magenta displays
areas of very heavy rainfall and statistically indicates a high probability of
hail.
Note: Do not approach a storm cell containing magenta and red any
closer than 20 nautical miles. Echoes should be separated by at least 40
nautical miles before attempting to fly between them.
Cells beyond 75 nautical miles are areas of substantial rainfall, do not
wait for red or magenta to appear. Plan and execute evasive action
quickly to minimize “doglegging.”
When a complete detour is impractical, penetration of weather patterns
may be required. Avoid adjacent cells by at least 20 nautical miles .
