NOTE: Refer to the WX-500 Pilot’s Guide for a detailed 
description of the WX-500 STORMSCOPE. 

The L-3 STORMSCOPE WX-500 Weather Map-

ping Sensor 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
reports the information to the display. Interfaces are 
currently only available for the WX-500 STORM-
SCOPE System.

The power-up self-test ensures that the WX-500

functions are operating properly. An error message
is displayed on the Message Page if data is no longer
being received.

In addition to the power-up test, the WX-500 per-

forms a continuous self-test. This continuous self-test
is performed several times per minute. A user-initiated
test can also be performed. The WX-500 Pilot’s Guide
lists all of the possible faults, probable causes, and
recommended actions if system failures are noted.
