HAZARD AVOIDANCE
DATALINK LIGHTNING
Datalink Lightning (DL LTNG) data (Figure 6-72) shows the approximate location of cloud-to-ground
lightning strikes. A strike icon represents a strike that has occurred within a two-kilometer region. Neither
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.
