STRIKE FINDER
STORM AVOIDANCE MAPPING
Figures 30 through 34 (p.36-38) portray the route of an aircraft past a line
of thunderstorms. These examples will help you to relate the position of
strike dots
on the Strike Finder display to the storm maps.
Long Range Detection
Figure 30 shows the Strike Finder display depicting a line of five
thunderstorms. Two large thunderstorms appear about 150 nm and 175 nm
away from the aircraft at 10:30 and 9:30 position. A smaller storm appears
about 100 nm at 9:30 position. Two additional small thunderstorms appear
straight ahead just off the intended track, about 180 nm off the nose of the
aircraft at 11:45 and 12:15 position. Aircraft groundspeed is 180 kts.
