Panasonic 3.0 Manuel D’Utilisation

EchoMap v3.0 

Storm activity is displayed on the 

moving map with cells measuring 

from 2km to 12km in size.  The detail 

levels vary depending on many 

factors, including size of requested 

area, amount of weather, and 

distance from center of picture.  

Although a higher level of detail can 

be displayed, due to the 5 to 10 

minute age of the weather and storm 

movement it does not provide 

additional useful navigational 

information.  Cells are displayed with 

three levels of intensity. 

 

Light to moderate 
rain or snow

 

0 to 0.05” rain/hr or   
0 to 0.5” snow/hr 

5 – 29 
dbz 

Moderate to heavy 
rain or heavy snow, 
possible lightning

 

0.06 to 1.5” rain/hr or 
0.5 to +1” snow/hr 

30 – 54 
dbz 

Extreme 
rain/sleet/hail, 
lightning

 

+2.5” rain/hr or 
sleet/hail 

55 + dbz 

 - 

You should always assume that weather intensity 

levels have increased since the image was received. You should 

not fly close to any activity, including the green cells!

Two concentric dashed circles  

denote the boundaries of the 

current weather picture on the 

moving map.  The inner green 

circle indicates the area where 

weather is represented in the 

most detail. The outer yellow 

circle indicates where the 

weather is represented in less 

detail.  Any weather 

outer yellow circle will not be displayed. Cells display when 

any part contacts the outer yellow circle, so large cells can extend 

beyond the circle.
