Automatic Threat Analysis
Forget tedious, time-consuming manual adjustments to get the storm cell information you want and need. With the StormOptix volumetric autoscan function, the radar automatically performs multiple scan/sweep angles to help you determine the actual size, shape and hazardous storm cell activity. You simply select the range display desired, and the radar is programmed to do the rest. You get more and better detection with less workload. So, you can focus on flying the aircraft while getting detailed, real-time weather information at a glance.

Advanced Prediction/Detection Features
With the StormOptix autoscan technology, you’re able to quickly analyze storm cells, accurately assess threat potential, and then choose the best diversion route or avoidance solution. As standard capability, the radar will also predict lightning and hail development in thunderstorm cells ahead as well as detecting and alerting you to potentially hazardous turbulence. Predictive windshear detection is also available as an option.

Less Clutter, More Clarity
Another advanced feature, enhanced ground clutter suppression, helps take more of the guesswork out of interpreting what you see on your radar display. With this technology, the radar can provide a more consistent, more accurate view of weather at all altitudes and all ranges. It identifies clutter from ground and surface features — then applies advanced algorithms in conjunction with an onboard terrain database to eliminate those nonweather returns from the display. The result is a cleaner, clearer image that lets you focus on real weather.
