5) Turn the large FMS Knob highlight to the ‘DIAMETER / RTE WIDTH’
distance field and turn the small FMS Knob to select the desired diameter
and route width of the request, then press the ENT Key.
6) 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

During a Connext Data Request, the Request Status box displays “Processing...” and
the ‘CANCEL REQ’ button is highlighted. 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 in the background. Connext Data Requests typically take between
1 to 3 minutes to complete depending on the size of the selected weather coverage area.
The G1000 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.
