4.11 Stormscope

NOTE: Refer to the WX-500 Pilot's Guide for a detailed description of the
WX-500 StormScope.
The WX-500 StormScope Weather Mapping Sensor is a passive weather
avoidance system that detects electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms
within a 200 NM radius of the aircraft. StormScope measures relative bearing
and distance of thunderstorm-related electrical activity and reports the
information to the display. Interfaces are currently only available for the WX-
500 StormScope System.
For lightning display interpretation, study the examples in the WX-500
Pilot' s Guide that are designed to help you relate the cell or strike patterns shown
on the display to the size and location of thunderstorms that may be near your
aircraft.
