DATA LINK WEATHER (FIS-B)
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the
age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time
delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the
weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older
than the indicated weather product age.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or
around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data link weather
products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
The GDL 39 can also receive and, when connected Garmin Pilot, display Flight
Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B). FIS-B is a subscription-free weather service that
is broadcast by Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) over the 978 MHz UAT frequency

receive FIS-B weather information, the GDL 39 must be within range and line-of-sight
of an operating GBT. Reception may be affected by factors including altitude or terrain.
GDL 39-supported FIS-B weather products include METARs, TAFs, NEXRAD (Regional

(including TFRs).
