SECTION 7 HAZARD AVOIDANCE

7.1 WEATHER INFORMATION

WEATHER SOURCE
On installations that include the capability to receive both SiriusXM and FIS-B
(through GDL 39) weather information, there are three options available for selection
®
through the Main Menu or Weather Page; AUTO, XM (SiriusXM), and GDL FIS-B. The
default selection is 'AUTO.' With AUTO selected, and a SiriusXM subscription, SiriusXM
weather information is displayed. If SiriusXM service is unavailable with AUTO selected,
FIS-B weather information is displayed, if available. If either SiriusXM or GDL FIS-B
source is selected, only the selected source is used to display weather information and
no automatic source-switching will occur. When more than one source is available, the
name of the current weather source will be displayed in the title bar of the Weather
Page (WX) and on the Waypoint Page when the Weather Softkey is selected. Data from
the selected weather source will apply to all weather shown on the Map Page, Waypoint
Page, Weather Page, Nearest Page, and configurable data fields. The weather source
can also be changed manually through the Main Menu or on the Weather Page (WX).
Switching Weather Sources:
1) Press the MENU Key twice to display the Main Menu.
2) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'System Setup...' and press the
ENT Key.
3) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'WEATHER.'
4) Press the ENT Key.
5) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to select the desired weather source (AUTO,
XM, or GDL FIS-B). The default is 'AUTO' which will use XM over GDL FIS-B
if both are available.
6) Press the FMS Joystick, the CLR Key, or the EXIT Softkey to return to the
previous page.
