HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.3 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 information cannot be displayed simultaneously on the same map as lightning
information from data link lightning sources.
The MAP - Stormscope Page is the principal map page for viewing Stormscope data. The following pages can
also display Stormscope data as an additional reference:
• PFD Inset Map • AUX - Trip Planning Page
• Navigation Map • Nearest Pages
To display Stormscope data on any map besides the Stormscope Page, select the MAP Softkey (or the INSET
Softkey for the PFD Inset Map), then select the STRMSCP Softkey. These pages can also display cell or strike data
using the yellow lightning strike symbology shown in Table 6-6.
