WEATHER-AHEAD INDICATION
Weather/Turbulence Ahead indication lets the pilot know when
significant weather or turbulence is detected ahead of the aircraft or
along the flight plan when the weather display is not active. This is
similar to the “Target Alert” function on other radars, except that if
this feature is installed, it is always available whenever the radar is
scanning.
The area within +/- 20 nmof the current flight plan (if active) or
aircraft track, and from 0 to 100 nm ahead of the aircraft is
constantly monitored to detect the presence of red weather or
turbulence.
If red weather or turbulence is detected within this area, but is
beyond the selected display range, or when the WXR is not
selected for display, either an annunciation on the display (usually
TGT ), or a text message (e.g., “WX AHEAD” or “TGT”) is provided.
