SECTION 7 HAZARD AVOIDANCE
7.1 WEATHER INFORMATION
The G3X Touch
™
is capable of increasing in-flight situational awareness when
considering weather by displaying pertinent information in a variety of locations
throughout the system (e.g., Weather Page, Waypoint Information Page, Data Fields,
etc.). The G3X Touch system is capable of receiving weather information from a variety
of sources and seamlessly switching the displayed information for comparison.
WEATHER SOURCES
On installations that include the capability to receive both SiriusXM and FIS-B weather
information, there are three options available for selection through the Main Menu or
Weather Page; AUTO, SXM (SiriusXM), and 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. 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.
Switching Weather Sources:
1) Press the MENU Key twice.
2) Touch Setup > Weather.
3) Touch the Weather Data Source.
4) Touch Auto, SiriusXM, or FIS-B.
Or
