FIS-B WEATHER (OPTIONAL)

The FIS-B Weather is provided through compatible ADS-B equipment.
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.
Accessing FIS-B Weather Products
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the Map Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the FIS-B Weather Data Link Page.
When a weather product is selected for display on the FIS-B Weather Data Link
Page, a box containing a symbol for the product and its age (in minutes) is shown in
the upper right. If weather data has not been received yet, 'N/A' is shown next to the
product symbol instead of age. The age of the weather product is based on the time
difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS
time. Weather products are updated continuously or refreshed at specific intervals
(defined in the Refresh Rate column in the following table).
If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the defined Expiration
Time intervals, the data is considered expired and is removed from the display. The
age of the expired product is replaced by dashes. If more than half of the expiration
time has elapsed, the color of the product age readout changes to yellow.
The refresh rate represents the interval at which the servers make available the most
current known weather data. It does not necessarily represent the rate at which new
content is received from weather sources.
