WEATHER OPERATION
The Lynx NGT-9000 provides weather information using data provided
by the Flight Information Service - Broadcast (FIS-B). The FIS-B
service is available only from a ground station that is in range to aircraft
equipped with UAT receivers.
The FIS-B broadcast provides a graphical and textual display of
weather and aeronautical information. This information is provided
on three different application screens named below as “Graphical
Weather Application”, “Graphic Winds and Temps Application”, and
Textual Application”. This information is detailed below. The map
orientation is typically shown as north up.
Alternate weather displays and PED’s may show the weather data
differently than what is shown in this pilot’s guide. Refer to the display
operation manual or PED application information for details.
Details on Flight Information Service - Broadcast (FIS-B)
FIS−B is a ground broadcast service provided through the ADS−B
Services network over the 978 MHz UAT data link. By using FIS−B
for orientation and information, the usefulness of information received
from ofcial sources may be enhanced, but the user should be alert
and understand any limitations associated with individual data.
The weather data listed in Table 2-4 is available on specic application
screens as detailed below.
FIS−B augments the traditional ATC/FSS/ AOCC services by providing
additional information and in some cases the advantage of being
displayed graphically. The data provided by FIS−B is for information
only and does not meet the safety and regulatory requirements of
ofcial weather data.
