SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS Hazard Avoidance • Heading Up • Track Up • North Up • Sync to Nav Map For each enabled SiriusXM Weather product, the system displays a weather product icon and product age. The product age is the elapsed time (in minutes) since the weather data provider compiled the weather product. The product age display does not indicate the age of the information contained within the weather product, which can be significantly older than the displayed weather product age. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. The SiriusXM Weather service broadcasts weather products at specific intervals (defined in the Broadcast Rate column in Table 6-1). If for any reason, a product is not broadcast within the Expiration Time intervals (see Table 6-1), the system removes the expired data from the display, and shows dashes instead of the product age. This ensures the displayed information is consistent with what is currently being transmitted by the SiriusXM Weather service. If more than half of the expiration time has elapsed, the color of the product age changes to yellow. If data for an entire weather product is not available for any reason, the system displays 'N/A' next to the weather product symbol instead of the product age. Table 6-1 shows the weather product symbols, the expiration times and the broadcast rates. The broadcast rate represents how often the SiriusXM Weather service transmits new signals that may or may not contain updated weather products. It does not represent the rate at which the weather information is updated or when the Data Link Receiver receives new data. SiriusXM and its weather data suppliers define and control the data update intervals, which are subject to change.
