XM Weather

Winds Aloft Altitude

The Winds Aloft Altitude selection provides the

pilot with the ability to select any wind altitude from

the ground up to 42,000 feet in 3,000 foot increments.

When no data are shown at a given altitude, the data

for that altitude has not been received. Wait for the

next update. The selected altitude is depicted below

the WINDS label.

To change the XM Weather Winds Aloft altitude:

With the "WINDS" product selected, turn the

large right knob to highlight the altitude

value.

Turn the small right knob to change the

value.

When done, press the small right (CRSR)

knob again to remove the cursor (remove

highlighting from the altitude field).

information that you will use when activating

your XM satellite radio subscription.

shows timestamp data for the most recently

received XM weather data.

XM receiver is a GDL 69A.

is the page you will refer to when activating your sub-

scription to the XM Satellite Radio services.

character identification code of the XM Audio

radio built into the GDL 69A. Provide this ID

audio subscription. (In the case of a GDL 69,

this field shows eight hyphens instead of an
