HAZARD AVOIDANCE ECHO TOPS NOTE: Display of Echo Tops cannot be displayed at the same time as Cloud Tops and NEXRAD. Echo Tops data (Figure 6-14) shows the location, elevation, and direction of the highest radar echo. The highest radar echo does not indicate the top of a storm or clouds; rather it indicates the highest altitude at which precipitation is detected. Information is derived from NEXRAD data. Figure 6-14 Echo Tops Data Displaying Echo Tops information: 1) Select the Weather Data Link (XM) Page. 2) Select the ECHO TOP Softkey. To display the Echo Tops legend (Figure 6-15), select the LEGEND Softkey when Echo Tops is selected for display. Since Echo Tops and Cloud Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude, display of these weather products is mutually exclusive. When Echo Tops is activated, NEXRAD and Cloud Tops data are removed. No Radar Coverage Figure 6-15 Echo Tops Legend 294 Garmin G1000H™ Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GX 190-01255-00 Rev. A
