HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.2 GARMIN CONNEXT WEATHER
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous
weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current
weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather
information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing
weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product
may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.
NOTE: The availability of specific Garmin Connext weather products varies by region and is subject to
change. For weather product coverage information, refer to fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/gfds-weather. This
Pilot’s Guide shows all Garmin Connext Weather products, regardless of product availability in a specific
area.
