CRUISE ABOVE FL200
• System Control: L or R (dual system) or NORM (single system)
• Mode: AUTO
• Gain: CAL or as required to assess threats. (Refer to GAIN
CONTROL on page 27 for more details.)
• Range: Pilot Flying – 20 to 80 nm, other side at least one range
higher.
• Within 60 nm sufficient resolution exists for evaluating cells. At these
ranges Flight Path and Secondary Weather will become more
prominent and MAN mode can be used for vertical analysis.
• Avoid any magenta turbulence cells and monitor the display for
weather intensity to avoid any weather threats.
• Avoid any cells associated with Hail or Lightning Icons.
• In areas where the REACT field is shown, expect the possibility of
weather that may need to be avoided (see page 17).
• See PLANNING A PATH on page 42 for more information.

• Avoid any magenta turbulence cells and monitor the display for
weather intensity to avoid any weather threats.
• Avoid any cells associated with Hail or Lightning Icons.
• In areas where the REACT field is shown, expect the possibility of
weather that may need to be avoided (see page 17).
• Start evaluating cells by 40 nm and finish by 20 nm.
• Make your weather decision by the 20 nm point.
• See PLANNING A PATH on page 42 for more information.
