only as an aid to situational awareness. Such weather information is merely supplemental and advisory in nature
and is not intended to be relied upon as safety-critical information in connection with any aviation, vehicle, or marine

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near or around areas of hazardous weather.

Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.

than the indicated weather product age.
