6.1 XM SATELLITE WEATHER

NOTE:

XM Satellite Weather data provides information for avoiding hazardous weather. It is not meant for

use to penetrate hazardous weather.

XM Satellite Weather is provided through the GDL 69/69A, a remote-mounted data-link satellite receiver.

Received graphical weather information and associated text is displayed on the Multi Function Display (MFD) and
the Primary Flight Display (PFD) Inset Map. The GDL 69A can also receive XM Satellite Radio® entertainment
services. Both weather data and entertainment programming operate in the S-band frequency range to provide
continuous reception capabilities at any altitude throughout North America.

XM Satellite Radio services are subscription-based. For more information on specific service packages, visit

www.xmradio.com.

ACTIVATING XM SATELLITE SERVICES

Before XM Satellite Weather and XM Satellite Radio can be used, the service must be activated. Service is

activated by providing coded IDs unique to the installed GDL 69/69A. XM Satellite Radio and XM Satellite
Weather services each have coded IDs. The Data and Audio Radio IDs must be provided to activate the weather
service and entertainment subscriptions, respectively. These IDs are located on:

• The label on the back of the Data Link Receiver

• The XM Information Page on the MFD
