Lightning Strikes (LT) Function
The Lightning Strike mode allows you to view lightning
strikes that are reported by a BF Goodrich WX500
Stormscope Weather Mapping Sensor. The “T” marks are
used as reference marks to aid in locating strikes in
reference to your position. The Lightning function is not
available in all software versions. Check your Approved
Flight Manual Supplement to verify if this feature is
available. Your display range must be selected to be
greater than 25 nm to display lightning strikes. The
display range is shown in the lower left corner of the
display. For instance, if you zoom In to a range of 20 nm,
no strikes will be shown, but if you zoom Out to 30 nm
strikes will be shown.
