3.5.2.4 Waypoint Weather Information (Optional)
The Weather information function is available if a data link receiver is installed,
a weather subscription is current, and weather information is available for the
selected waypoint. METAR and TAF text are displayed on the Waypoint Weather
Information Page. Pressing the WX soft key will show the weather information
page. METAR data is displayed first, then TAF information is displayed.
TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather
forecasts. A TAF typically forecasts significant weather changes, temporary
changes, probable changes, and expected changes in weather conditions.
