HAZARD AVOIDANCE
GARMIN CONNEXT DATA LINK LIGHTNING
Datalink Lightning (DL LTNG) data (Figure 6-74) shows the approximate location of cloud-to-ground

cloud-to-cloud nor the exact location of the lightning strike is displayed.
If the aircraft is also equipped with the L-3 WX-500 Stormscope
®
, only one lightning product may be
enabled for display at a time on a navigation map.
