page.
5.
Press ENT when done viewing the TFR Informa-
tion page.
The fields of the TFR Information page are as fol-
lows:
• Type. A brief description of the reason for the
temporary flight restriction appears here. Some
examples of the text that might appear here
are: "Fire," "Miscellaneous," "National Security
Area," "Natural Disaster," and "Sports Event."
• Facility/NOTAM. This filed contains a code
for the name of the FAA facility that issued the
NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) announcing the
TFR, followed by the NOTAM number. For
instance, "ZSE 6/9507" would mean NOTAM
number 6/9507 from the Seattle ARTCC (KZSE).
NOTE: The full text of the NOTAM may be obtained
from a local FSS or from the FAA web site, using the
contents of this field as a reference to locate the
particular NOTAM. However, the information shown on
the TFR Information page is sufficient to let you comply
with the Temporary Flight Restriction by avoiding the
affected area.
• Active Time. This field is for the beginning and
ending times of the temporary flight restriction.
It may be blank, in which case the TFR is active
"until further notice."
• Vert Limits. This field gives the upper and
lower limits of the airspace to which the TFR
applies.
Lightning (LTNG)
When enabled, lightning strikes and cells are
shown. Lightning information indicates the location of
cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. Lightning strikes are
noted by yellow plus (+) signs.
To view XM Weather Lightning Strikes:
1.
While viewing the XM Weather page, check
the upper left corner to see whether "LTNG"
or another weather product is displayed.
2.
If another weather product (rather than
"LTNG") is shown, press the small right
(CRSR) knob to highlight the product name,
such as "NEXRAD". Turn the small right knob
to change to "LTNG," and press that small
right knob again to bring down the cursor
(stop the highlighting) and retain the "LTNG"
selection.
