LIGHTNING OPERATION
Lightning detection is an optional function that is set up during
installation. The Lightning function continuously monitors electrical
discharges from thunderstorms within a 200 nmi radius of the aircraft
and plots the location of the discharges as cells or strikes on the right
application screen. See Figures 2-41 and 2-42 and the descriptions
below for details.
Refer to the Stormscope (WX-500) Users Guide 009-11501-001 for
in-depth details.

Never use the Lightning system to attempt to penetrate
a thunderstorm. The FAA Advisory Circular, Subject:
Thunderstorms, and the Airman’s Information Manual
(AIM) recommend that aircraft are to “avoid by at least 20
miles any thunderstorm identied as severe or giving an
intense radar echo.”
