5.2 DATALINK WEATHER

WARNING: Do not use datalink weather information for maneuvering in, near, or
around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within datalink weather
products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated datalink weather product age to determine the
age of the weather information shown by the datalink weather product. Due to time
delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for datalink transmission,
the weather information shown by the datalink weather product may be older than
the indicated weather product age.
Datalink weather services, including SiriusXM Weather and Flight Information Services-
Broadcast (FIS-B) may be transmitted from a ground station or satellite and received for display
on the MFI.
