  1. Fill in the form below as you want it.
  2. click on the "Set Defaults" button.
  3. a new ACARS web page will come up with the title and defaults set as you want them. Make a bookmark to this new ACARS page (not to the one you're looking at now).

  5. Each time you call up that bookmark, your favorite initial values should be in place.

(To find these parameters do the following: on the ACARS java display zoom to the region you want, then hold down the shift key and click anywhere on the map. A window will appear showing the parameters you need to enter.)
color code by altitude, or by speed
show wind barbs
Initial load parameters: Number of hours
NOTE: unless you have a relatively slow connection to the internet, it will probably be faster to load all the data than to sub-section it. (Sub-sectioning runs slowly on our server.) You can test timing by using the display's load window to try different lat/lon limits.
Min and Max latitude:
Min and Max longitude:
Data type: All, g, edr, Vapor, vg
