9.4. WIND DATA
Overview
The WIND DATA uplink function enables pilot to request and receive
forecast winds for climb, cruise, descent, and alternate atmospheric
data.
The uplink message may be received in response to a pilot request or
automatically without request.
A request is initiated from the AOC FUNCTION page or from any WIND
page.
WIND DATA downlink message may be sent requesting wind data for
any or all flight phases: Climb, Cruise, Descent, Alternate.
The subsequent WIND DATA uplink message may provide data for
requested flight phase(s) or for additional phase(s).
The uplinked winds are displayed on the WIND pages. When inserted,
valid uplinked wind data replaces all the previously defined wind data
for the corresponding flight phase.
−
Climb and descent winds are referenced to altitude.
−
Cruise winds are referenced to WPTs at the appropriate cruise or
step flight level as defined in F-PLN.
A wind request from a WIND page may be initiated from either the
ACTIVE or SEC F-PLN. The subsequent uplink is then associated with
the flight plan from which the request is initiated. Otherwise, when a
wind uplink is received, which does not correspond to a pending
request, the wind uplink is associated to the active flight plan (if
defined).
If the wind data are uplinked, whether automatically or in response to
a request, the pilot may view the winds prior to insertion in the
receiving flight plan.
However, if the aircraft is on the ground prior to engine start and data
have not yet been entered or inserted on any WIND page then wind
data are directly inserted into that flight plan and cannot be reviewed.
