Threshold Texting Parameters and Usage
| Parameter | Designator | Threshold Options | Example | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wind | W | <, >, XX (knots) | CNQ3 t w<30 | Text if winds at airport CNQ3 are below 30 kts |
| Gusts | G | <, >, XX (knots) | CNQ3 t G>20 | Text if gusts at airport CNQ3 exceed 20 kts |
| Wind Direction | WD | = “N”, “E”, “S”, “W” | CNQ3 T Wd=N | The N,E,S,W “bands” are cardinal direction plus or minus 30 degrees. Text is wind at CNQ3 is reported to be any direction between 330 and 030 degrees. |
| Temperature | T | <, >, +/-XX (°C) | CNQ3 t>0 kany e t>10 | Text if temperature at airport CNQ3 is greater than 0°C AND email if temperature exceeds 10°C |
| Dew Point Spread | DS | <, >, X (°C) | CNQ3 t dp>1 | Text if the temperature – dew point spread at airport CNQ3 is greater than 1°C |
| Altimeter | A | <, >, XXXX (in Hg × 100) | CNQ3 T A<2992 | Text if altimeter setting at airport CNQ3 is less than 29.92 in Hg |
| Density Altitude | DA | <, >, XXXXX (feet) | CNQ3 T DA>10000 | Text if density altitude at airport CNQ3 is greater than 10,000 ft. |
| Precipitation Rate | PR | <, >, “L”, “M”, “H” | CNQ3 t pr>H | Error text sent – precip rate cannot be greater than “Heavy” (“+”) |
| Visibility | V | <, >, XX (statute miles) | CNQ3 T V>1 kany T V>2 | Text if visibility at airport CNQ3 is greater than 1 SM and text again if visibility is greater than 2 SM |
| Ceiling | C | <, >, XXXXX (feet) | CNQ3 t c>1000 | Text if ceiling (lowest broken or overcast layer) at airport CNQ3 exceeds 1000 ft. |
| Sky Condition | S | <, >, X (oktas) | CNQ3 t S>2 | Error text sent – invalid airport code – this parameter implementation is TBD – not implemented in initial version. |
