Esterline CMC Electronics has added real-time graphical weather linked through the Iridium satellite network to its 8.4-inch PilotView CMA-1100 Mk II and 10.4-inch CMA-1410 electronic flight bags (EFBs).

CMC Electronics is offering the WSI weather products with the Avidyne MLX770 two-way datalink receiver. The Avidyne network provides graphical weather and radar in Europe, Australia and North America. WSI Weather also provides worldwide winds and temperatures aloft, lightning, metars and tafs and satellite infrared. The hardware adds approximately four pounds to a CMC EFB installation, while also providing global text messaging and flight-tracking capabilities using the Iridium link.
