nmi range. Switch to the other ranges to ensure that there
is no thunderstorm activity along your intended path.
Note that the
WX-1000
plots every electrical discharge
detected within the
25
nmi range at the exact location
detected unless the discharge is associated with a cluster of
discharges, in which case the discharge point is clustered
with the associated discharge points.
Discharge Points Off Aircraft’s Nose
Figure

shows the
360
° weather view at the
200
nmi range.
The discharge points ahead of the aircraft could be caused
by a strong thunderstorm just beyond the
200
nmi range.
Another cause might be electrical discharge signals arriving
via atmospheric skip from a distant thunderstorm well
beyond the
WX-1000
range. In either case, no immediate
action is required.
Line of Discharge Points While Taxiing
Passing over a cable beneath the taxiway can cause a line of
discharge points across the screen as shown in figure
