6.5 WX-500 STORMSCOPE
WARNING: Do not rely on information from the lightning detection system display as the sole basis for
hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate
or incomplete information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for
detailed information about the system.
NOTE: Stormscope lightning cannot be displayed simultaneously on the same navigation map as lightning
information from data link weather lightning sources.
NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms
that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more
discharge points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after
the screen has been cleared.
The following pages can display Stormscope data:
• Stormscope Page • AUX - Video Page
• Navigation Map • Nearest Pages
• AUX - Trip Planning Page
The Map - Stormscope Page is the principal page for viewing Stormscope data. Stormscope data can be displayed
on other map pages as an additional reference. To display Stormscope data on the Navigation Map, AUX - Trip
Planning Page, or any of the Nearest Pages, press the
MAP
Softkey, then press the
STRMSCP
Softkey. These pages
can also display cell or strike data using the yellow lightning strike symbology shown in Table 6-20.
