Exercise 12.2: Lightning Detection

1. When flying an aircraft with a WX-500 Stormscope installed, where can the lightning data be
displayed?
Stormscope information can be shown on the PFD Inset Map and on the MFD
Navigation Map and Stormscope pages.
2. How is WX-500 data presented by the GIFD System?
Stormscope lightning information is shown as lightning bolts and "+" (plus) symbols of
various sizes.
3. When a lightning bolt is changed to a "+" (plus) symbol, what does this change denote?
This means that the data is over one minute old (note that a smaller "+" symbol appears
when the data is over two minutes old).
