ADSB Winds Aloft Data

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am getting more used to using my IFD 440, which is integrated with the AXP 340 and a Skytrax200.
Did some relatively long flights yesterday from NorCal to SoCal and back.  During that time I was not able to get winds aloft ADSB data - which just showed "Not Available". I inputted a number of different points in the INFO page, all to no avail.  Is this a configuration issue?  What other possible issues?

In a previous airplane with a Garmin GTX 345 I was able to get this data on an MFD (GMX-200) in the same geographical area.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

	It is possible the winds aloft wasn't included in the FIS-B data for some reason. the IFD unit will forward ALL ADS-B in data over WiFi to your tablet (or whatever device you are using) so you can always see if you have the winds aloft there.
