Moving the joystick pointer to
an area that will not highlight a
specific report then pressing

GRAPHICAL AIRMET
The graphical AIRMET is derived from the location description (if pro-
vided) in the textual AIRMET and displayed as a boundary box with the
appropriate color for the condition as shown in the legend (for a
description, see AIRMETs in the Basic Weather Services section). The
“IN” box in the legend indicates the current aircraft position is within the
corresponding forecast condition. The boundaries are displayed on a
map background to enhance situational awareness as shown on
Figure 2-7. Low Level Wind Shear and Freezing Level information will
not be displayed on the GRAPHICAL AIRMET; check the textual
AIRMETs for this information.
NOTE: If no location description is provided in the textual AIRMET the
AIRMET cannot be depicted graphically. These AIRMETs are denoted
by displaying the AIRMET identifier in green within the textual AIRMET.
