Figure 6-55 GFDS Weather Data Request Results with Precipitation and Infrared Satellite Displayed
During a GFDS Data Request, the Request Status box initially displays "Contacting GFDS...". Once a
connection is established, the Request Status Box displays "Receiving Wx Data... Time Remaining:" with an
estimated data transfer time (either minutes or seconds). If desired, the GFDS Data Request window may be
closed while the data request is processing by pressing the FMS Knob; the data request will continue to process
in the background. GFDS Data Requests typically take between 1 to 4 minutes to complete depending on the
size of the selected weather coverage area and Iridium signal strength.
The G1000H retrieves all available Worldwide Weather products within the selected coverage area during
an initial GFDS Data Request, regardless of which products (if any) are currently enabled for display. On
subsequent requests, previously retrieved textual data (such as METARs and TAFS) is retained if it has not
expired, while new textual weather data matching the current coverage area and all graphical weather data is
downloaded during every data request.
