Do not utilize Worldwide Weather information to penetrate hazardous weather. NOTE: The availability of specific weather products varies from region to region. Garmin Flight Data Services (GFDS) provides Worldwide Weather reception capabilities to the G1000H through the optional GSR 56H Iridium satellite datalink. Graphical weather information and associated text are displayed on the Multi Function Display (MFD) and the Primary Flight Display (PFD) Inset Map. Weather data are provided after the pilot initiates either a manual or automatic GFDS data request on the Weather Data Link (GFDS) Page on the MFD.
