  • Page 3 SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET When studying the FIS Addendum, the following information may be helpful going in. FIS Datalink Weather gives a “situation awareness” of one’s position, or planned position, in relation to the weather. It is a tool that can be used to plan for the circumnavigation of severe weather (strategic planning).

  • Page 7 To receive FIS products, an aircraft must be equipped with a compatible VDL receiver (KDR 510), dedicated VHF antenna, and appropriate dis- play (KMD 550/850). FIS uses a one-way (ground-to-air) broadcast pro- tocol. Data is continually broadcast without the need to request informa- tion, nor acknowledge receipt.

The detailed description of the general oper- ation of the KMD 550/850 is contained in the other sections of the KMD 550/850 Pilot’s Guide. The Bendix/King KMD 550/850 is shown below with the FIS Text Page selected.

    Many weather sources available on the internet use color coding that is different than the KMD 550/850 color coding. The dBz and intensity level can be used to compare intensity levels between different sources of NEXRAD information since many internet weather providers will include a legend with dBz values indicated.
