STRIKE FINDER
DIGITAL WEATHER AVOIDANCE
Operation
Upon system start-up or reboot, a five minute warm-up is needed to
achieve full stabilization (
note
that
RBS
action is completely locked out for
the first minute after power-up). If the aircraft heading is changed during
the five minute warm-up period, the strike dots may drift somewhat from
correct positioning. Use the clear function before take-off, pausing to
acquire strike information and storm locations if the warm-up period is not
complete.
In-flight operation is fully automatic.
