GROUND LESSONS 10. A pilot is on a flight from KAPA (Centennial Airport, Denver, CO) to KGJT (Grand Junction Airport, Grand Junction, CO) over the mountains. Weather is predicted to be MVFR with scattered rain over the entire route of flight. How would one configure the MFD to give the best presentation of data for this flight? Assume that a GDL-69 weather datalink is installed in the aircraft. Since visibility is marginal, display the terrain overlay by selecting the Terrain softkey on the MFD to ensure terrain clearance over the mountains. Periodically, check the dedicated weather page in the Map page group to check the areas and strength of precipitation. The combination of terrain elevation and weather information allows better planning of the flight route, but one must be prepared for unexpected deviations. 190-00368-04 Rev.
