4 STORMSCOPE MODEL WX-950 If you like a dedicated, always on display, the WX-950 is the Stormscope system for you. The WX-950 provides two modes of operation cell mode and strike mode. In cell mode, it detects lightning up to 200 nautical miles out and displays storm cell areas of greatest intensity. During periods of heavy electrical activity, cell mode clearly indicates if there is a path to safely avoid thunderstorms. In strike mode, the WX-950 detects and maps individual strikes, allowing you to monitor sporadic electrical activity that may indicate the beginnings of a storm. Ranges of 25, 50, 100 and 200 nm are available in 360 view or 120 forward looking view. > Operates in 25, 50, 100 and 200 nm ranges > Features pilot selectable strike and cell modes > Displays multiple views: 360 view of electrical activity in all directions forward looking 120 view > Uses a high resolution, 3-inch ATI display/processor for optimum image precision > Heading stabilized when configured with a compatible heading system STORMSCOPE MODEL WX-1000 SERIES Now you don t have to be a meteorologist to forecast the weather. Like all Stormscope systems, the WX-1000 Series provides early detection of storm cells, and displays lightning at ranges up to 200 nautical miles. Simply turn your system on and monitor thunderstorm activity even before you leave the ground. Pick four selectable ranges, two separate views, a built-in checklist, and a timer to keep track of your elapsed time on approach. The WX-1000E Series can be configured to display lightning on an EFIS or radar indicator. > 360 or 120 selectable view out to 200 nm range > Interfaces with the L-3 SkyWatch and SkyWatch HP Traffic Advisory Systems > Electrical discharge information acquired and stored on all ranges simultaneously > CLEAR function aids in determining whether storm cells are building or dissipating > Optional dedicated high resolution CRT display with adjustable brightness control > Six installer-programmable checklists > Recognized by the military as the AN/AMS-2 and carries national stock numbers (1,2) > Heading stabilized when configured with a compatible heading system (1,2) > Uses an RS232 or RS422 input from a compatible Loran/GPS (2) > Available with ARINC 429 EFIS output (2) > Creates Loran/GPS-generated Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) (2) (1) Model WX features (2) Model WX-1000E features Stormscope WX-1000E with optional 429 EFIS output

5 SKYWATCH COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS When you combine the SkyWatch or SkyWatch HP collision avoidance systems with your Stormscope system, you can monitor both thunderstorm activity and traffic threats that surround your aircraft all on the same display. Designed to meet the needs of today's cockpits and those of the future, SkyWatch and SkyWatch HP are the ideal match for Stormscope to give you a clear view ahead. SKYWATCH WITH STORMSCOPE WX When combining the SkyWatch or SkyWatch HP Traffic Avoidance Systems with a Stormscope WX-1000+, pilots have the ability to monitor both thunderstorm activity and traffic threats, all on the same bright and compact 3" CRT display. The WX automatically displays SkyWatch information when a Traffic Advisory (TA) is present, reverting back to Stormscope mode when the TA is no longer a threat. Pilots can also toggle between lightning and traffic information through the use of a panel mounted switch. Additionally, the WX-1000E 429 EFIS matched with the SkyWatch HP system allows pilots to view lightning and traffic information on select ARINC 429 EFIS displays. SkyWatch HP displayed on the WX-1000 Display SKYWATCH WITH STORMSCOPE WX-500 SkyWatch and Stormscope WX-500 information overlaid on typical MFD Using your Stormscope WX-500 to display lightning on an MFD or Radar Indicator? Adding SkyWatch or SkyWatch HP to your system enables traffic to be displayed simultaneously on these displays. The range and operating modes of the SkyWatch and Stormscope WX-500 systems are controlled directly through the MFD or radar indicator controller (using the RGC350). View traffic and lightning overlaid on the MFD s moving map or on a dedicated page. Both SkyWatch and Stormscope information can be superimposed over the precipitation returns displayed on your compatible weather radar indicator.
