WSI InFlightFlight Information Service (FIS) Function

The Flight Information Service (FIS) Function allows access to graphic and text weather data messages on

WSI InFlight-equipped installations. Graphical weather includes US and Canadian radar, METARs, winds aloft,

temperature aloft, lightning strikes, warning areas, and TAFs. You can select Graphical WX, Text, or Status infor-

mation by pressing the MENU/ENT key and then choosing the type of information with the MENU ITEM keys.

Review the Limitations section in the Pilot’s Guide Introduction for the limitations that apply to the FIS data.

Product Times

Product times shown on the lower portion of the display are: GM for Graphical METARs, RD for weather radar,

ETP for EchoTops, LTG for Lightning, PRP for PIREPs, TFR for Temporary Flight Restrictions, WND for Winds

Aloft, and TMP for Temperature Aloft, ICE for Icing, and WB for Warning Boxes (Airmets and Sigmets). Times are

Zulu times when the data was assembled on the ground, not the time the data was received by the FIS sensor.

For GMX 200s that have a GPS receiver that provides time, the Zulu time is the time reported by the GPS

receiver. For GMX 200s that do not have time provided by a GPS receiver, this ﬁeld is invalid and dashed out.

Product times are shown in white when they are 0 to 5 minutes old, gray when they are 5 to 10 minutes old,

and yellow when they are older than 10 minutes. For GMX 200s that have time available from a GPS receiver,

age is based on the time reported by the GPS receiver. For GMX 200s that do not have time available from a GPS

receiver, age is based on the time the data was received from the FIS sensor. In this case, the age of the data may

be older than what is shown by the color coding. The WSI logo on the right is displayed when new data is being

transferred from the WSI receiver to the GMX 200.

Graphical WX Overlay Options

A variety of graphical information is available with

the Overlay function when viewing the Graphical WX

display. Press the OVRL function key to view and

select available options. Some or all of the following

may be available, based on your FIS subscription.

• US and/or Canadian Weather Radar (determined

by subscription)

• METARs, US, and/or Canadian (determined by

subscription)

• SIGMETs & AIRMETs

• Echo Tops

• Icing

• TFRs

• Lightning

• Winds/Temperature Aloft

• Label

• Flight Plan

• Legend

• Map Detail

• Map Orientation

Graphical Weather (WX) Display

Weather radar images are available for display

from the FIS sensor by selecting the Graphical WX

option. A cyan dot pattern indicates areas where no

data has been received from the FIS sensor. Solid cyan

areas represent areas where the ground based weather

radars are unable to monitor weather. This is typically

caused by terrain obstruction. When depicted, color

coded weather intensity is presented and is an indica-

tion of radar echo return strength. Different colors

are used for US and Canadian weather. Because of

weather radar differences, do not assume that the same

actual weather intensities are represented by the same

colors. The intensities associated with the color codes

are available by viewing the Legend Overlay Option.

The legend associated with the weather radar image is

shown for the depicted radar data, US or Canadian.

The weather display and Icing products are

mutually exclusive. You may select to display either

the weather display or Icing, not both. Selecting the

weather display will turn off the Icing display.

Menu Options for Overlay Page 1

WSI FIS Graphic Weather Overlay Menu Items (Page 1)

1. Press the OVRL function key to allow selec-

tion of the Overlay choices when viewing the

Graphical WX option.

2. Press MENU/ENT to display menu items for

the Overlay. Press NEXT PAGE to see more

options.

US or Canadian Weather Radar

This option is only available when subscribed to

both radar products. WSI offers subscriptions for US

and Canadian radar data. Because of differences in

radar technology, both data types cannot be displayed

at the same time. When subscribed to both weather

radar products, you can alternate between the two

with the Overlay option.

METARs

When enabled, METARs are available as colored

circles or diamonds at airports that provide METAR

reports. Press the METARs key to cycle through the

options of circular, diamond, or no METARs. Circles

depict the current METAR. Diamonds depict the

current weather condition. Refer to the Legend for

a description of the color code. US and Canadian

METARS use the same color coding and will be shown

at the same time with a subscription to both products.

SIGMETs & AIRMETs

When enabled, the following SIGMETs and

AIRMETs are available for display with repeated

presses of the Menu Item key :

• “SIGMETs” are for Convective SIGMETs

• “T AIRMET” is for Surface/Aloft Turbulence

AIRMETs

• “Z AIRMET” is for Icing AIRMET

• “S AIRMET” is for an IFR condition, such as a

mountain obstruction

• “No Warn. Area” turns off all SIGMETs and

AIRMETs

These are collectively known as Warning Boxes and

are displayed as color coded outlines of the affected

area. Refer to the Legend for a description of the color

coding.

Echo Tops

Echo Tops indicate the location, elevation, and

direction of the highest radar echo. This is typically

associated with storms. This may not indicate the top

of a storm or clouds, only the highest radar return

echo. Refer to the Legend for a description of the Echo

Tops coding.

Icing

Icing data may be displayed with either Winds or

Temperatures Aloft. Two icing hazards may be dis-

played. Current Icing Severity (CIS) is displayed in

different shades of blue. Super-cooled Large Droplets

(SLD) are shown in magenta. Refer to the Legend for

a description of the CIS color coding. A dot pattern

indicates areas where no icing has been received or is

not available, such as the higher altitudes.

Press the Icing key to toggle the display of Icing

data on and off. Use the Alt+ and Alt- menu item keys

190-00607-06 Rev D

WSI Addendum

to select the altitude to display the reported informa-

tion.

The Icing and weather radar displays are mutually

exclusive, meaning one or the other may be displayed,

but not both at the same time. Turning the Icing dis-

play on turns off the weather radar display.

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs)

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) indicate areas

where ﬂight restrictions have been imposed. They are

depicted as areas with yellow outlines and a cross-

hatch pattern. The cross-hatch pattern indicates that

the TFR is currently active or within 30 minutes of

being active. The area may also contain the TFR identi-

ﬁer. The TFR identiﬁer includes the TFR number and

upper altitude. TFRs are displayed on the MAP func-

tion when Airspaces are enabled in the MAP function.

Menu Options for Overlay Page 2

1. Press the OVRL function key to allow selec-

tion of the Overlay choices when viewing the

Graphical WX option.

2. Press MENU/ENT to display menu items for the

Overlay.

3. Press MAIN MENU to return to the Main

Menu.

Lightning

Press the Lightning key to toggle the display of

lightning strikes on and off.

Winds and Temperatures Aloft

Press the Wind/Temp key to toggle the display of

Winds Aloft on, or Temperature Aloft on, or both off.

Winds Aloft and Temperature Aloft may not both be

shown at the same time. Temperatures are displayed

in units of degrees Celsius. Minus temperatures are

shown with a blue background. Plus temperatures are

shown with an orange background. When Winds or

Temperature Aloft are on, Alt+ and Alt- Menu Item

keys are available to select the altitude to display the

reported information. If Icing is on, data is displayed

for the same altitude.

Map Detail

Press the Map Detail Menu Item key to choose

between the display of No Overlays, the Base Map, or

Map and Nav Aids.

SafeTaxi airport diagrams are always drawn if

available in the database. SafeTaxi airport diagrams

are drawn when the zoom scale is 20 NM, or lower,

with progressively more details shown as the scale

decreases.

Airport diagrams may show areas where extra

vigilance is recommended due to trafﬁc congestion,

visibility constraints, or other unique circumstances.

These areas are called hot spots and are identiﬁed by

circular or elliptical lines. Although these areas are

highlighted as places where extra caution is war-

ranted and advised, they do not relieve the pilot of the

responsibility to “see and avoid” other trafﬁc or obsta-

cles, on the airport surface or in the air. All taxiway

and runway intersections should be approached with

caution, whether they are marked with hot spots or

not. Runways where Land and Hold Short Operations
