4.10 FIS-B Weather (Optional)

WSR-88D weather surveillance radar or NEXRAD (NEXt generation RADar) is
a Doppler radar system that has greatly improved the detection of meteorological
events such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. An extensive network
of NEXRAD stations provides almost complete radar coverage of the continental
United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. The unobstructed range of each NEXRAD is
124 nautical miles. The ADS-B/FIS-B receiver sends the FIS-B information to
the GDU 620.
NOTE: The ADS-B/FIS-B receiver will send all FIS-B weather and
NOTAM/TFR information that it receives. There may be more information
available than is received by the ADS-B/FIS-B receiver. This can lead to the
ADS-B/FIS-B receiver, and subsequently the GDU 620, displaying the status
of the FIS-B data as "received" and "current" even though some of the
data for the region is missing.
