HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.2 GFDS WORLDWIDE WEATHER
NOTE:
Garmin Flight Data Services (GFDS) Worldwide Weather provides information for avoiding hazardous
weather. Do not use GFDS weather information to penetrate hazardous weather.
NOTE:
Availability of specific GFDS weather products varies by region. Refer to fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/
gfds-weather for GFDS product coverage information.
Garmin Flight Data Services (GFDS) provides Worldwide Weather reception capabilities to the G1000 through
the optional GSR 56 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.
The system provides GFDS weather data after the pilot initiates either a manual or automatic GFDS data request
on the Weather Data Link (GFDS) Page on the MFD.
In order to receive GFDS Worldwide Weather data, an account must first be established with Garmin Flight
Data Services. Refer to Section 8.10, Satellite Telephone & SMS Messaging Service, for more information.
REGISTERING THE SYSTEM FOR GARMIN FLIGHT DATA SERVICES
When an account is established, Garmin Flight Data services provides an Access Code which must be entered
on the G1000 in order to complete the registration process.
Registering the system to receive GFDS Weather:
1)
With the aircraft outside and having a clear view of the sky, turn the large
FMS
Knob on the MFD to select the
MAP page group.
2)
Turn the small
FMS
Knob to select the MAP-WEATHER DATA LINK (GFDS or XM) Page. If ‘XM’ is displayed in
the page title, it will be necessary to change the datalink source to GFDS before continuing. Refer to ‘Viewing
the Weather Data Link (GFDS) Page’ procedure to change the datalink source to GFDS prior to registration.
3)
If the system displays the ‘Garmin Flight Data Service Registration’ window, proceed to step 7. Otherwise, press
the
MENU
Key. The Page Menu window is now displayed as seen in Figure 6-54.
