WX-500 Stormscope (If Equipped)
The Stormscope WX-500 Series II Weather Mapping Sensor detects electrical
discharges associated with thunderstorms within 200 nm radius of the aircraft.
This information is then sent to the G1000 multifunction display (MFD) which
plots the location of the associated thunderstorms.
For operational guidance of the WX-500 Stormscope system, refer to the
Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide (190-00645-XX).

NOTE: The Stormscope system is not intended for hazardous
thunderstorm penetration. Weather information on the G1000 MFD is
approved for weather avoidance only. Refer to the “WX-500 User’s Guide”
for a detailed description of Stormscope operation.
NOTE: Using the WX-500 Stormscope while the HID pulse lights are on
could cause erroneous lightning indications. To prevent the possibility of
false lightning indications, DO NOT use the pulse position of the LANDING
LIGHT toggle switch while utilizing the WX-500 Stormscope.
