(2015) Service Bulletin 1509: GMX 200 Multi-Function Display Software Upgrade to Version 2.14


CERTIFICATION APPROVAL:
 TSO Authorization

COMPLIANCE:
 Optional: the decision to modify is at the owner’s discretion, except for GMX 200 units that are interfaced to GDL 69/69A units, in which case it is mandatory.

SYSTEM:
 GMX 200 Standard, GMX 200 Traffic, GMX 200 Radar, GMX 200 Radar/Traffic

PURPOSE:
 This Service Bulletin announces the availability of new GMX 200 Software Version 2.14. GMX 200 Software Version 2.14 contains the following improvements and new capabilities:

  • Ensures large textual METAR packages received from the GDL 69 do not cause a reset. This corrects the issue described in Service Advisory 1413, “GMX 200 Resets and Safety Monitor Codes 14xx, 48xx, 49xx, 56xx, and 93xx.”
  • Corrects an issue that could potentially cause a system reset when interfaced to WSI datalink weather receivers.
  • Ensures airports are properly sorted on the Nearest Airports list and displayed on the moving map display.
  • Adds support for SiriusXM's Canadian NEXRAD, METAR, Winds Aloft, and TAF products.
  • Adds METAR support for airports with 3-letter identifiers, matching existing functionality for airports with 4-letter identifiers.
  • Corrects an issue with RS-811A (RDS-81) radar installations when more than one radar display is installed.
  • Ensures that TIS traffic (from a GTX 33/330) is removed from the display when leaving a TIS coverage area.
  • Removes “Traffic” as a selectable option on the split screen.
  • Allows TAS/TCAS traffic to remain displayed when GPS position is unavailable.
