2.12 Datalinked Weather Display
XM weather data is provided by an optional GDL 69 interface. The weather
information display on the MFD of the G500 is limited to supplemental use only
and may not be used in lieu of an official weather data source.
2.13 Traffic Display
Traffic may be displayed on the G500H System from TIS or TAS systems.
These systems are capable of providing traffic monitoring and alerting to the
pilot. Traffic shown on the display may or may not have traffic alerting
available. The display of traffic is an aid to visual acquisition and is not to be
utilized for aircraft maneuvering.
CAUTION – Some TAS traffic systems may not automatically transition to
OPERATE mode upon becoming airborne or in the event of a power
interruption while in the air may power on in STANDBY mode. The pilot
must be aware of the operating status of the TAS traffic system by referring
to the traffic icon on the map pages or the status annunciator on the traffic
page. If the traffic system is in STANDBY mode use the traffic page
softkeys to change to the OPERATE mode.
2.14 Radar Altimeter Display
Precise Above Ground Level (AGL) altitude information may be displayed on
the G500H System from supported radar altimeters.
