Wind
There are three wind layers in the ELITE weather
en vi ron ment. Each wind layer can have its own
char ac ter is tics and are all confi gured in the same way on
the METEO page utilizing identical con trol panels. Wind
layers can NOT be less than 200 feet thick. The thick ness
of each layer is defi ned by the values entered on the
panels. Note that the top of the bottom wind layer is also
the base of the mid wind lay er. The top of the mid wind
layer is also the base of the top wind lay er.
TRANSITION ZONES
GenView
Transition Zones are available for each of the three Cloud
Layers and can only be selected when overcast (OVC)
coverage is in use. A Transition Zone creates a gradual
visual transition to and from the cloud con di tions existing
above or below the layer where it is used and is noticeable
only when climbing or descending into, or out of, the
overcast layer it is associated with.
