WX-500 Stormscope® Data
If an L-3 WX-500 Stormscope lightning detection sensor has been
installed in the aircraft, it can be configured to display on the
SN3500 as shown on Figure 7-1.
Lightning strikes are displayed in the SN3500’s primary display
area, and are automatically synchronized with the aircraft’s heading.
The status of the WX-500 is displayed in the upper right corner. In
normal operation, this represents the current strike rate, preceded
by an “S” for strike mode, or “C” for cell mode. Error messages are
detailed in the WX-500 User’s Guide.
New cell/strike symbols are shown on the SN3500 in white for 30
seconds after which they are shown in green. Cell/strikes older than
3 minutes are removed from the display.
