  • Page 7 To receive FIS products, an aircraft must be equipped with a compatible VDL receiver (KDR 510), dedicated VHF antenna, and appropriate dis- play (KMD 550/850). FIS uses a one-way (ground-to-air) broadcast pro- tocol. Data is continually broadcast without the need to request informa- tion, nor acknowledge receipt.
