PIREPs
Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) describe in-flight weather encountered by pilots.
A PIREP may contain unforecast adverse weather conditions, such as low in-flight
visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, turbulence, and type of aircraft flown. PIREPs
are issued as either Routine (UA) or Urgent (UUA).

circle will appear around the weather report when it is selected.

AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR
WARNING: Begin transmitting only when it is safe to do so. If it is desired to
transmit while the aircraft is on the ground, no personnel or objects should
be within 11 feet of the antenna.
CAUTION: In Standby Mode, the antenna is parked at the center line. It
is always a good idea to put the radar in Standby Mode before taxiing the
aircraft to prevent the antenna from bouncing on the bottom stop and possibly
causing damage to the radar assembly.
