Many thousands of general aviation pilots are benefitting from the free in-cockpit weather information broadcast over the FIS-B link accessible by 978-MHz universal access transceivers – what most of us call ADS-B In. Now, a host of new weather products are coming to the service to provide pilots with even more information they can use to make better en route decisions.
New Free Weather Products Coming Soon to ADS-B Feed
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA is significantly expanding the free in-cockpit weather information available to general aviation pilots via the FIS-B link (ADS-B In).
- Beginning in June, new products such as lightning strikes, turbulence, icing forecasts, cloud tops, AIRMETs, and Center weather advisories will be broadcast.
- These new weather products will complement the existing baseline offerings, but pilots will need to update their avionics software or tablet apps to access them.
