11.2 Overview of Datalink Weather
For most operations, the EX5000 displays weather the same way
regardless of which Datalink system is used.
Note:
Depending on your Broadcast Datalink subscription,
Broadcast Datalink can provide lightning strike data, allowing
the Map page to add “Datalink” as a source of strike data that
is controlled by the
Lightning
key. The actual weather
products delivered depend on your satellite weather
subscription plan and your region of the world.

!
For Datalink RADAR, small areas of high-intensity Datalink
Radar data might not be displayed on the EX5000 at high
range settings. Instead, larger areas of surrounding lower-
intensity returns may obstruct indications of severe
precipitation at Map ranges higher than 250 nm. Avoid using
Map ranges greater than 250 nm when Datalink Radar
echoes are shown in the vicinity of the aircraft.
!
Before conducting flight operations, be sure to verify that time
and date settings on the System Time Setup page are correct
and in GMT (UTC). It is critical that the time be set to GMT to
provide accurate display of Datalink weather. See
Chapter 9 "Aux Pages – Configuring the EX5000" for more
information.
