HAZARD AVOIDANCE

Stormscope lightning data can be displayed on the Navigation Map Page up to 2000 nm zoom range (north

up). In the Track Up Mode a portion of Stormscope lightning data could be behind the aircraft that cannot

be seen at this range. Since the range of the Stormscope is 200 nm, the 500 nm range in North Up Mode

shows all the data.

At a map range of less than 25 nm,

Stormscope lightning data is not displayed, but can still be present. The

presence of Stormscope lightning data is indicated by the annunciation ‘LTNG < 25 nm’ in the upper right

corner.
