Datalink For this flight it would be better to set the Coverage Area to Current Position and 200 nm With these values the NOC will not send 2 Way Datalink weather data for this flight unless the Broadcast system fails Use the following guidelines as a starting point and as you gain familiarity with the system you can strike your own balance between 2 Way Datalink usage and data availability e Expanded Coverage If you regularly fly outside of CONUS and plan to use MultiLink for expanded data coverage consider setting the coverage area to Flight Plan and 200 NM e Backup li you plan to use MultiLink mainly as an active backup for Broadcast consider setting the coverage area to Current Position and 200 NM or even 100 NM if you regularly fly in the northeastern United States Remember that in the Boston area for example a setting of 200 NM puts the Coverage Area outside of CONUS and will cause the NOC to send 2 Way Datalink data for every flight e Datalink Messaging amp Flight Tracking Only If you plan to enable MultiLink weather only when specifically needed and want to have Datalink Messaging and Flight Tracking available on all flights you can de select all weather types but leave MultiLink enabled This will cause the system to use a minimum of 2 Way Datalink data on each flight for session management and position reporting 600 00078 001 Rev 05 117 Avidyne EX500 EX600 MED Datalink Optional 10
