Part Two: Section 2
XM Weather
XM WPT Pages
When a GDL 69 or GDL 69A is installed, two SiriusXM
Weather-related pages are added to “airport” pages in the
WPT page group:
Textual METAR Page. The Textual METAR
page shows the text of the most recent METAR
(Meteorological Aerodrome Report) that has been
received for an airport.
TAF Page. The TAF page shows the text of the
most recent TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast)
that has been received for an airport.
XM AUX Pages
When a GDL 69 or GDL 69A is installed, the following
XM pages appear in the AUX group of pages:
XM Audio Page (GDL 69A only). See Section 4
below for a description of this page.
XM Information Page. This page contains infor-
mation that you will use when activating your XM
satellite radio subscription. It also reports the GDL
69/69As software version number. SiriusXM Satel-
lite Radio and SiriusXM Weather subscriptions are
sold separately.
XM Weather Timestamp Pages. This page show
timestamp data for the most recently received XM
weather data.
Section 2: SiriusXM Weather
The SiriusXM Weather Function is capable of displaying
graphical weather information through the SiriusXM
Satellite Radio Service when activated in the optional
installation of the GDL 69/69A. Next Generation Weather
Radar (NEXRAD), METARs symbols (METAR), Lightning
(LTNG), Cell Movement (CELL MOVE), and Winds Aloft
(WINDS) are displayed on the NAV pages. The types of
products available depend on the subscription service
with XM Satellite Radio.
Once you have activated an aviation weather service
from SiriusXM Weather, the 400W/500W series unit can
display the following aviation-related data:
NEXRAD. An indication of the intensity of
weather radar echoes from the National Weather
Service’s network of NEXRAD (NEXt generation
RADar) sites can be shown on the SiriusXM
Weather Page and can optionally be overlaid on
the Map page. (Both these pages are in the NAV
page group.) Canadian Radar may also be avail-
able.
Radar Coverage. Whenever NEXRAD is shown, a
cross-hatch pattern indicates the limits of NEXRAD
radar coverage. The cross-hatched area shows
where NEXRAD information is unavailable.
Lightning (LTNG). When enabled, lightning
strikes and cells are shown as yellow “+” signs.
Lightning information indicates the location of
cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.
Cell Movement (CELL MOVE). When enabled,
Cell Movement shows the storm cells identified
by the ground-based system. The movement
is depicted by an arrow. The tip of the arrow
represents where the cell is expected to be in
10 minutes from the time the cell location was
determined.
