7.1.13 GWX 68
Original GWX 68 Reinstalled:
If the removed GWX 68 is re-installed (same serial number), no software loading or
configuration is required. This does not include units that were returned for repair as their
software and configuration files are deleted during the repair testing process.
New or Repaired GWX 68 Installed:
If a new or repaired GWX 68 is installed, load the following files after removing the
Supplemental Database cards from the bottom slots of each display. Note which card was
removed from the MFD so it may be identified later for reinsertion in the MFD when software
and configuration loading is complete. It contains a FliteChart or Chartview database which is
only used by the MFD. Reinstall all the cards after the software and configuration file loads are
complete.

GWX 68 Testing
Operation of the GWX 68 Weather Radar is accomplished using the MFD/GCU 475. Refer to
the applicable G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for basic operation. Perform a basic operation
check on the weather radar.
NOTE
Before energizing the equipment, be sure microwave radiation safety
precautions including both fuel and personnel safety considerations have
been observed. These include clearing all personnel to an area beyond the
maximum permissible exposure level (MPEL) boundary. The MPEL for
the GWX 68 is eleven feet.
