Text Weather Report Requests
Menu Navigation: UNILINK MENU > OPS (1/2) > TEXT WX
The TEXT WX REQUEST page allows the user to request four types
of text weather reports from up to six locations.
TERMINAL weather received from this request will apply to stations
entered on this page, and will include both actual and forecast
conditions for each station.
WINDS (Winds Aloft), SIGMETS (Significant Meteorological
Information), and PIREPS (Pilot Weather Reports) will apply to the
flight plan route from the FMS. If a manual data entry is made in
STATIONS fields (LSKs [1L & 2L]), the Winds Aloft will apply to
waypoints along the great circle route from the aircraft’s present
position to the airport identifier. Stored text weather messages are
accessed via the OPS MSG LOG page (accessed from the
MESSAGE LOGS page).
To request Text Weather:
1. Press TEXT WX, LSK [1R] on OPS 1/2 page.
2. On the TEXT WX REQUEST page, enter up to six reporting
stations (STATIONS) using LSKs [1L] and [2L] and the [ENTER]
key. The first station will default to the FMS destination airport
identifier.
NOTE: When exiting this page, all stations entered are cleared.
3. Press TYPES, LSK [1R] to choose the type of reports to receive.
The WX TYPE SELECT page will display.
