The WX-950 Stormscope is clear step up from the WX-900 in the Series II family. The WX-950 boasts a number of improvements, including:

Display – The WX-950 has the familiar, high resolution green CRT, instead of an LCD display. The WX-950 may also be configured to concentrate both the display and processing power on the forward 120° of airspace.

Software modes – The WX-950 includes newer, very advanced lightning detection software. When set to Strike mode, the WX-950 will plot each discharge separately, like every other Stormscope. The new Cell mode is used to help better define the storm cells as areas to avoid.

Heading Stabilization – When provided with an external heading source, such as a King KCS-55/55A system, the WX-950 will keep the display oriented to the current aircraft heading during turns. This is a great feature to reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness. Using a gyro-stabilized display is most helpful when maneuvering during departure and approach, when the pilot is busiest.

Greater range – The WX-950 is capable of detecting and displaying discharges out to 200 nm. This give the pilot plenty of time to develop a thunderstorm avoidance strategy.

The WX-950 Stormscope features:

Choice of display ranges: 25, 50, 100, and 200 nm
Selectable Strike and Cell modes
Automatic heading stabilization, with proper input
Stores lightning data in all ranges simultaneously, making it easy and useful to toggle between them
360° view of surrounding area, or 120° view of forward airspace
Clear function to help determine storm intensity and movement
High resolution 3 inch CRT display
Self-test function
