GFDS WEATHER DATA REQUESTS

The GFDS Data Request window provides the flight crew with the options to enable or disable the requested
weather coverage area(s), choose automatic weather update intervals (if desired), and the ability to send or cancel
weather data requests. The status of the GFDS data request process is also displayed.
Before a GFDS data request can occur, a valid request coverage area must be defined from which all currently
available GFDS weather products will be retrieved. At a minimum, either the aircraft' s present position or a
waypoint (as part of a flight plan or entered directly in the 'WAYPOINT' coverage field) must be part of the request
coverage area, otherwise the request status window will indicate 'INVALID COVERAGE AREA' and the system will
not allow a request to occur.
