Turn the large FMS Knob until the ‘SEND REQ’ button is highlighted. Press
the
ENT
Key to initiate the request immediately or press the FMS Knob to
return to the Connext Data Link Page without requesting data.
During a Connext Data Request, the Request Status box initially displays “Con-
tacting GFDS...”. Once a connection is established, the Request Status Box displays
“Receiving Wx Data... Time Remaining:” with an estimated data transfer time (either
minutes or seconds). If desired, the Connext Data Request window may be closed
while the data request is processing by pressing the FMS Knob; the data request will
continue to process in the background. Connext Data Requests typically take between
1 to 4 minutes to complete depending on the size of the selected weather coverage area
and Iridium signal strength.
The system retrieves all available Connext Weather products within the selected
coverage area during an initial Connext Data Request, regardless of which products (if
any) are currently enabled for display. On subsequent requests, previously retrieved
textual data (such as METARs and TAFs) is retained if it has not expired, while new
textual weather data matching the current coverage area and all graphical weather data
is downloaded during every data request.
If the system cannot complete a Connext weather data request, one or more mes-
sages will appear in the request status window as shown in the following table.
