The G1000 provides an optional display interface for the
L-3 Stormscope® WX-500 Series II Weather Mapping
Sensor. The WX-500 is a passive weather avoidance
system that detects electrical discharges associated with
thunderstorms within a 200 nm radius of the aircraft.
The Stormscope measures relative bearing and distance
of thunderstorm related electrical activity and displays the
information on the Weather Map Page.
NOTE: Refer to the WX-500 User’s Guide for a
detailed description of the Stormscope.
