System detects and plots intra-cloud, inter- cloud, and cloud to ground electrical discharges. System has range of 200 NM

Self-Test Automatic at power up Requires 25 seconds to complete Error messages are displayed on MFD

Stormscope data is automatically overlaid onto the MFD moving map Display Modes Strike – Displays location of discharge Cell – Displays storm cells, most useful during periods of heavy electrical discharge activity. Off

Cell display is a function of processor logic, it is not a radar display. There are several atmospheric phenomena other than nearby thunderstorms which can cause isolated discharge points. If after clearing the screen the strikes reappear the display is indicating a thunderstorm. Even a single discharge point may represent thunderstorms and should be avoided. Operators should maintain a minimum of 20 NM from thunderstorms. Do not attempt to penetrate thunderstorms or an area of thunderstorm activity using the Stormscope. CAUTION WARNING

Random Discharge Patterns The antenna may receive electrical discharge from fair weather cumulus clouds Line of Discharge Points while Taxiing Result of electrical equipment (power lines, lights, etc.) operation
