This chapter is intended for forecasters using AvnFPS to monitor and prepare aviation forecasts.
To display any of AvnFPS GUIs you must start with the AvnFPS startup menu. The menu can be invoked from the command line by typing

The top list displays the names (or initials) of forecasters at your office. This name list permits individual customizations for things such as colors and fonts.

Select your name/initials from the top list.
