Each radar site or source may provide weather data at differing rates and times. Periodically,Garmin Flight Data Services compiles the available information to form a composite image, and assigns asingle time to indicate when it created the image. This image becomes the Precipitation weather product.Individual images--gathered from each radar site--differ in age, and are always older than the displayedPrecipitation weather product age.Because of the time required to detect, assemble, and distribute the Precipitation weather product, thedisplayed weather information contained within the product may be significantly older than the currentradar synopsis and may not depict the current weather conditions. The Precipitation weather product shouldnever be used as a basis for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather regardless of theinformation it contains.Figure 6-67 Precipitation Data on the Weather Data Link (GFDS) PageNo Radar CoverageBoundary ofPrecipitation DataRequestPrecipitation data can be displayed on the following maps:• PFD Inset Map• Navigation Map Page• Weather Data Link (GFDS) Page• Airport Information Page• Trip Planning Page• Nearest Pages• Flight Plan Pages
