How to use the flight-route icing chooser map --------------------------------------------- To access the images which show the altitudes of the icing along a given flight route, you simply put your cursor over the green dot at the city you wish to examine, and your cursor which change from an "arrow" (indicating that the cursor is not over a "clickable" map location) to a "hand" (indicating that the cursor is over a "clickable" spot on the map). When the "hand" appears, look in the grey box at the very bottom edge of your browser window, and the names of the cities that are part of the cross-section you can current select are shown (e.g. Denver_Wichita_Memphis if your cursor is placed just to the northwest of Memphis along the blue line that leads to Denver and passes over Wichita). In some cases, several routes go into one city (Springfield, Missouri, for example). When this is the case, you cannot click directly on the green dot (e.g. at Springfield), but rather must move your pointer a little ways along the blue line (flight path), and you will get the little hand, etc. When you click on an one of these portions of the map, you will bring up a "vertical cross-section" of the icing along that flight route. Icing, SLD, and visible moisture along the flight path will be shown for altitudes between 0 and 30000 feet. Current PIREPs will also be indicated. Further information regarding these plots is available under the button "FLIGHT PATH PLOTS - HELP".
