Hazard Avoidance

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR)

NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction TFR information. Always confirm TFR information through official sources such as Flight Service Stations of Air Traffic Control.

Temporary Flight Restrictions, or TFRs, temporarily restrict all aircraft from entering the selected airspace unless a waiver has been issued. TFRs are routinely issued for activities such as sporting events, dignitary visits, military depots, and forest fires. TFRs are represented as an area highlighted by red (active) or yellow (not yet active).

TFR Data

PIREPs

Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information. When significant weather conditions are reported or forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities are required to solicit PIREPs. A PIREP may contain unforecast adverse weather conditions, such as low in-flight visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, and turbulence. PIREPs are issued as either Routine (UA) (blue) or Urgent (UUA) (yellow).

PIREP text is displayed on the Weather (WX) Page. An abbreviated version can be viewed by panning over the PIREP box. Using the Map Pointer, highlight the desired PIREP and press the ENT Key to display the decoded text.
