Datalink weather information is to be used as a strategic
planning tool for pilot decisions on avoiding inclement
weather areas that are beyond visual range or where poor
visibility precludes visual acquisition of inclement weather.
Datalink weather information may be used as follows:
•
To aid the pilot in situational awareness of hazardous
meteorological conditions.
•
As a cue to the pilot to communicate with the ATC
controller
information
conditions. In no case should the pilot take any
evasive action based solely upon the datalink
weather display.
The datalink weather information is intended for assistance in
strategic flight planning purposes only and lacks sufficient
resolution and updating necessary for tactical maneuvering.
