Default Garmin 396 Weather avoidance..

Guess I should have remembered that. But then he should not have inserted
his comments about what he sees at a terminal facility into a discussion of
delays in cockpit weather/WARP. His radar doesn't feed NOAAPORT, so his " I
get updated every six seconds" is irrelevant.

OK. Apples and oranges. Way back at the beginning of this thread we were
talking about using an [airborne] 396 weather display. The information
sent to cockpits, installed or handheld, is NEXRAD-based, and I jumped in
to emphasize the point that real-time weather does not exist in the
cockpit unless you have airborne weather radar, which few have. Now, all
of a sudden, you chime in with what you see at a terminal facility?
Without disclosing the kind of facility you work at?

My recollection is that he has told the group more than once that he works
at Billings TRACON.
