2-2 Rev 4 Aug/2007 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation See our website at www.bendixking.com for VDL network status and coverage. Continuous coverage of most of the continental US is possible at altitudes as low as 5,000 ft. AGL, except for regions of precipitous ter- rain.
2-3 Rev 4 Aug/2007 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation To receive FIS WX products, an aircraft must be equipped with a com- patible VDL receiver (KDR 510) or XM receiver (KDR 610), dedicated VHF antenna or satellite antenna, and appropriate display (KMD 250).
Introduction 2-4 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW The Datalink Weather Function of the Bendix/King KMD 250 allows for the display and control of textual and graphical weather information received from the Bendix/King KDR 510 VDL Receiver or the KDR 610 XM satellite receiver.

2-8 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation Basic Service Weather Products Rev 4 Aug/2007 SPECI A SPECI (Aviation Selected Special Weather Report) is related to the METAR. SPECIs are issued when certain specific conditions or events have been observed at a particular location, usually an airport.
2-9 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation Rev 4 Aug/2007 of the data elements are formatted as those in a METAR report. A TAF will contain elements in the following order: 1. Type of report 2. ICAO station identifier 3. Date and time of issue 4.

2-14 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation Value Added Service Weather Products Rev 4 Aug/2007 NEXRAD ABNORMALITIES The following is a list of NEXRAD abnormalities that may be experi- enced: 1. Each NEXRAD site can operate in two modes, "Clear Air" mode or "Precipitation" mode.
2-15 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation Rev 4 Aug/2007 10. Echoes from migrating birds, bats, and insects will be displayed as circular patterns of level 1 reflectivity centered near NEXRAD sites. 11. Significant variation in humidity with altitude can cause reflections from the Earth's surface.
2-16 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation Value Added Service Weather Products Rev 4 Aug/2007 5. The resolution of NEXRAD XM data is 2 km. Thus, when zoomed in on the display, each square block is 2 km on a side. The intensity level reflected by the square will be the highest level sampled within the 2 km area.
2-17 KMD 250 Pilot's Guide Section 2 FIS Operation Rev 4 Aug/2007 GRAPHICAL MET AR The graphical METAR is derived from the most currently received tex- tual METAR or SPECI data from reporting sites. This is displayed on a map background to enhance situational awareness as shown on Figure 2-5.
