Hazard Avoidance
The system 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.
If the system cannot complete a GFDS weather data request, one or more messages
will appear in the request status window as shown in the following table.
