The Data Request Window on the Connext Weather Settings Screen provides the flight crew with the options
to select the size of weather data request coverage area, choose automatic weather update intervals (if desired),
and the ability to send or cancel weather data requests. The Data Request Window also displays the status of the
weather data request process.
Before a weather data request can occur, a valid request coverage area must be defined from which all currently
available Garmin Connext Weather products will be retrieved (regardless of which weather products are currently
enabled for display). At a minimum, either the aircraft’s present position or a waypoint (as part of a flight plan
or entered directly in the ‘Waypoint’ coverage field) must be part of the request coverage area, otherwise the Data
Request Window indicates ‘Invalid Coverage Area’ and the system will not allow a request to occur.
It is not necessary for a destination (based on an active flight plan), a flight plan, or waypoint to be defined prior
to enabling these coverage areas; however no weather data will be retrieved for these option(s) until a flight plan
or waypoint is provided, respectively.
Defining Weather Data Request Coverage Area:
1)
From Home, touch
Weather > Weather Selection > Connext Weather > Connext Settings
.
2)
Touch the
Define Coverage
Button.
3)
To change the diameter and route width of the weather data request coverage area, touch the
Diameter/
Width
Button. Scroll as needed and touch the desired distance button in the popup window.
4)
To include/remove the present position in the weather data request, touch the
P. POS
Button.
5)
To include/remove any portion of the flight plan route in the weather data request, touch the
Flight Plan
Button.
6)
To change distance of the flight plan to be used in the weather data request, touch the Flight Plan Distance
Button. Scroll as needed and touch the desired distance of the flight plan to be used (‘Remining FPL’ uses the
remainder of the flight plan, or select a specified look-ahead distance from the list.)
7)
To include/remove a specific waypoint to be used in the weather data request, touch the
Waypoint
Button.
a)
Touch the waypoint entry Button (to the right of the
Waypoint
Button.)
b)
Using the Touchscreen Controller buttons or knobs, enter a waypoint to include in the weather data request.
Note the waypoint may be off-route.
Issuing/Cancelling an Immediate Weather Data Request:
.
1)
From Home, touch
Weather > Weather Selection > Connext Weather > Connext Settings
.
2)

Send Immediate Request
Button. The system contacts Garmin Connext weather services and
displays the request status in the Data Request Window. Window displays ‘Completed’ when finished.

Cancel Immediate Reques
t Button while a request is occurring. Data Request Window
displays ‘Request Cancelled’.
