XM WX Satellite Weather promotion
Tuesday, April 4, 2006 at 10:05 AM
In an effort to entice pilots to upgrade their aircraft panels, Avidyne is running a promotion from April 1st to June 30th that offers the first 12-months of a XMWX subscription for free.
Oh sure you get NEXRAD, METARS and TFRs, not to mention other alphabet soup services, but considering an XMWX subscription runs about $30/month, that isn't a bad deal at all. What you see here is the EX500 with a 5.5" diagonal, high-res moving map display that can show flight plan info plus the datalink weather service. It's got other options, but I really don't understand them. Any pilots in the house?
