Figure 3-7 WA Example
AIRMET bulletins, each containing one or more AIRMET messages, are issued on a scheduled
basis every six hours beginning at 0145 UTC, and are effective for six hours, beginning at 0200
UTC. Unlike FAs, scheduled AIRMET bulletin issuances occur at the same UTC time, regardless
of their area designator (Figure 3-7). Unscheduled amendments and corrections are issued as
necessary, due to changing weather conditions or issuance/cancellation of a SIGMET.
There are three types of AIRMET messages that may be issued within a WA. An AIRMET is
issued when one or more of the following listed conditions occurs (or is expected to occur) and
affects an area of at least 3000 square miles:
AIRMET Sierra For widespread IFR conditions (ceilings less than 1000 feet and/or visibility
less than three miles) affecting over 50% of the area or for extensive mountain obscuration.
AIRMET Tango For moderate turbulence or for sustained surface winds of 30 knots or more.
AIRMET Zulu For moderate icing or freezing level data.
