SECTION 10 – HAZARD
AVOIDANCE
Note that pressing the ENT Key when panning
over an AIRMET or a SIGMET displays an
information box that displays the text of the
report. Panning over an airport with METAR
information does not display more information
but allows the user to press the ENT Key and
select that Airport’s Information Page to display
the text of the report. Pressing the ENT Key
when panning over a TFR displays TFR specific
information.

Echo Top (Cloud Top and Echo Top Mutually Exclusive)
The XM Information Page in the AUX Page Group will
display the weather products available for the current
subscription. A green box by the weather product means
that it is available.
NOTE: The DONE Softkey on the AUX - XM
INFORMATION Page is used to save the GDL
69(A) activation data when the XM services
are initially set up. It is not used during normal
operation of the GDL 69(A), and it should have
no adverse effects if inadvertently selected during
flight. Refer to the GDL 69/69A XM Satellite
Radio Activation Instructions (190-00355-04, Rev
E or later) for further information.
Weather Product Age
The age for each of the enabled products is displayed
on the right side of the display. Times are based on Zulu
time when the data was assembled on the ground, not the
time the data was received by the XM receiver. When the
age of a weather product has exceeded half of the expiration
time, the product time will change from light blue to amber
in color.
