Data Link Weather provides graphical and textual descriptions of weather-related
information received from XM WX Satellite Weather through the Aspen satellite receiver
(Model EWR50) for the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and parts of Canada
and Mexico. This VIEW requires a weather receiver congured with the EFD1000/500
MFD and a subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather. There are two ways that the
EFD1000/500 MFD displays weather:
• Data Link Weather VIEW

(see the Navigation Map Section 5.2. Data Link Weather)
Several weather products are available; each weather product is presented on a
separate screen in the Data Link Weather VIEW. Each weather product is initially
displayed at the default map range of 200 nm. To display a dierent product screen, set
the FOCUS on the Data Link Weather VIEW by pressing the Right Knob, press the lower
right button Sel Wx, then rotate the Right Knob to select and view a dierent product
screen (see Section 5.2.1. Selecting Data Link Weather Products). The Data Link
Weather VIEW contains the following product screens:
