STORMSCOPE
To display Stormscope Lightning Data on
the Navigation Map Page:
1. Press the
MAP softkey. Press the
STRMSCP softkey. Press the STRMSCP
softkey again to remove Stormscope Lightning
Data from the Navigation Map Page.
In normal operation, the mode and rate are displayed
in the top right corner of the Navigation Map Page. The
mode is described by the word ‘STRIKE’ when in strike
mode, or ‘CELL’ when in cell mode.
NOTE: “Cell mode” uses a clustering “pro-
gram” to identify clusters of electrical activ-
ity that indicate cells. Cell mode is most
useful during periods of heavy storm activity.
Displaying cell data during these periods frees
the pilot from sifting through a screen full of
discharge points and helps to better determine
where the storm cells are located.
