HAZARD AVOIDANCE
The display of radar coverage is always active when NEXRAD or Echo Tops is selected. The display
indicates the currently available NEXRAD radar coverage and Echo Tops areas in a grayish-purple color where
information is unavailable or is not being collected. This means that the radar capability exists in the grayish-
purple areas, but that it is not active or is off-line (Figure 6-7).
CLOUD TOPS
NOTE: Cloud Tops and Echo Tops cannot be turned on at the same time.
Cloud Tops data (Figure 6-9) shows the altitude at the top of the clouds. This is determined from satellite
imagery.
Cloud Tops data displays only on the Weather Data Link Page. It does not display on other G1000 maps.
Press the CLD TOP Softkey to show the cloud top altitude. Note that Cloud Tops and Echo Tops use the
same color scaling to represent altitude. Cloud Tops and Echo Tops are mutually exclusive. When Cloud
Tops is activated, Echo Tops is removed.

To display the Cloud Tops legend (Figure 6-10), press the LEGEND Softkey when Cloud Tops is selected
for display.
