USING FIS-B WEATHER PRODUCTS
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within
data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather
conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the datalink weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather
product age.
FIS-B Weather Products can be displayed on the Map Page and individually on the
Weather (WX) Page.
Switching Weather Sources (aera 796 only):
1)
Touch the Weather > Menu > Set Up Weather.
2)
Use the buttons to cycle through the available weather sources
(AUTO, XM, or GDL FIS-B).
The setup menu for the Map Page controls the map range settings above which
weather products are decluttered from the display. If a map range larger than the
weather product map range setting is selected, the weather product data is removed
from the map. The menu also provides a means for enabling/disabling display of
‘Airmets’, ‘Sigmets’, ‘Weather Data’, and/or ‘NEXRAD’ on the Map Page.
Additional information about the following can be displayed by panning over the
display on the Weather Page or the Map Page:
•SIGMETs
•AIRMETs
•METARs
•TFRs
Additional information is also available for PIREPs on the Weather Page (not
displayed on the Map Page):
