Flight Tracking
Regular automatic aircraft position reporting is available with both
Iridium and ORBCOMM 2-way datalink systems. Your login page at
www.MyAvidyne.com
provides a list of past flights from which you
can view a map showing departure and destination airports and
approximate route of flight. In addition, the website password you
create will allow others to view a similar map of a flight in progress.
Note:
At the date of this publication, flight tracking is available in the
US only. Flight tracking will expand to include other regions of
the world.
Once Datalink is enabled and your account is set up, both Datalink
Messaging and Flight Tracking will be available. No weather data
types need be selected for these services to work.
10.2.2
Using 2-Way Datalink in Flight
When you turn on the EX500/EX600, it begins sending position data
to tell the satellite network where you are and that you are about to
begin a flight. Weather data is transmitted to your airplane based on
your user preferences - no action is required to begin receiving
weather data if 2-Way Datalink (narrowcast) and multicast are
enabled and user preferences are set to receive weather products.
Note:
To function correctly, the satellite receiver must have a clear
view of the sky and, generally, will not work inside a hangar.
When you enter a flight plan or a direct-to waypoint, the EX500/
EX600 automatically downloads the weather for your route of flight.
Additional updates are provided in-flight, based on the settings that
you selected online or on the EX500/EX600’s Datalink Setup page.
The boundary of available datalink radar data is shown by an area
with diagonal stripes (hatched). The hatched areas depict areas
without radar or Sat IR coverage, distinguishing them from areas that
have radar coverage but no radar returns.
Note:
2-Way Datalink satellites may occasionally be out of view,
which may delay Datalink transmissions.
