12. Lightning Detection View
INTRODUCTION
This section describes the lightning detection (strikes) view and
control function, which lets the pilot control and display the WX--500
Stormscope  Series II weather mapping sensor. Lightning detection is
an optional feature and requires the installation of the WX--500.
The WX--500 detects electrical discharges associated with
thunderstorms within a 200 nautical miles (NM) radius of the aircraft.
The information is then sent to the KSN 765/770, which displays the
location of the electrical discharges on the lightning detection view or
as a map overlay.
NOTE: Refer to the WX--500 Stormscope  Series II user guide for
detailed information about storm mapping, operating, and
weather display interpretation of the WX--500 receiver.
CAUTION
THE USE OF THE LIGHTNING DETECTION VIEW IS FOR
LONG--RANGE PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY, NOT
SHORT--RANGE AVOIDANCE. DO NOT USE INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO PENETRATE WEATHER, THUNDERSTORMS,
CELLS, OR LINES OF CELLS. THE AERONAUTICAL
INFORMATION MANUAL RECOMMENDS AVOIDING
THUNDERSTORMS IDENTIFIED AS SEVERE OR AVOIDING AN
INTENSE RADAR ECHO BY AT LEAST 20 MILES.
