Xm Weather Page Map Orientation - Garmin G500 Pilot's Manual

Cover TOC
The following may cause abnormalities in displayed NEXRAD radar images:
• Ground clutter
• Strobes and spurious radar data
• Sun strobes (when the radar antenna points directly at the sun)
• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows
• Metallic dust from military aircraft, which can cause alterations in radar
scans
NOTE: At present, NEXRAD data can age significantly by the time the
mosaic image is created. Although such situations are not believed to be
typical, in extreme latency and mosaic-creation scenarios, the actual age
of the oldest NEXRAD data in the mosaic can exceed the age indication
in the cockpit by 15-20 minutes. Even small time differences between
the age indicator and actual conditions can be important for safety of
flight, especially when considering fast-moving weather hazards, quickly
developing weather scenarios, and/or fast-moving aircraft.
