SECTION 4 HAZARD AVOIDANCE

4.1 WEATHER INFORMATION

WEATHER SOURCE

With a SiriusXM subscription and FIS-B weather information (through GDL 39), 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 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.
