Detailed Operation
Lightning Strikes (LT) Function
The Lightning Strike function allows you to view
lightning strikes that are reported by an L3 WX500
Stormscope Weather Mapping Sensor. The “T” marks
are used as reference marks to aid in locating strikes in
reference to your position. 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. Review the
Limitations section in the front of this guide for the
limitations that apply to the Lightning data.
The In and Out keys control the map scale (zoom
in or out). The Clear key clears the current lightning
strikes, which will be refreshed on the next update
cycle.
Lightning Menu Page 1
The first option page of the Lightning function lets
you select menu items for the choices of Flight Plan,
Display view, Lightning groups, Heading Stabilization,
and Stormscope (System Data) info. The last option
selection (Next Page) takes you to the next page of
menu items.

Flight Plan
The Flight Plan key controls the display of the
Flight Plan course line. Pressing the Flight Plan key
toggles between showing and not showing the Flight
Plan route line.
If the flight plan provided by the navigator to the
GMX 200 has an invalid cross track error, the ownship
symbol will have a red “X” placed over it.
Display View (360/120)
Two display views of the lightning information may
be selected. The 360 view shows a 360° view the air-
space surrounding your aircraft. The 120 view shows a
120° forward view from your aircraft’s position and the
display is divided into three segments.
Lightning
The WX500 detects electrical discharges within
a range determined by the installation of your
Stormscope. These discharge locations are noted as
Lightning strikes and displayed as an “x.” You may
select either single Strike or Cell (groups) of lightning
representations.
