9-2-5. SOLICITING PIREPs a. Solicit PIREPs for the affected area(s) when one or more of the following weather conditions exist, are reported, or forecast to occur: 1. Ceilings at or below 5,000 feet. 2. Visibility reported on the surface or aloft is 5 miles or less. 3. Thunderstorms and related phenomenon. 4. Turbulence of moderate degree or greater. 5. Icing of light degree or greater. 6. Wind shear. 7. Volcanic eruption, ash clouds, and/or detection of sulfur gases: hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the cabin.. (a) If only H2S or SO2 is reported, ask the pilot if volcanic ash clouds are in the vicinity. (b) The smell of sulfur gases in the cockpit may indicate volcanic activity that has not yet been detected or reported and/or possible entry into an ash�bearing cloud. H2S, also known as sewer gas, has the odor of rotten eggs. SO2 is identifiable as the sharp, acrid odor of a freshly struck match. NOTE-Pilots may forward PIREPs regarding volcanic activity using the format described in the Volcanic Activity Reporting Form (VAR) as depicted in the AIM
