Stormscope vs. wx radar
I flew recently with a new f/o who had little experience in using and interpreting the weather radar correctly. Unfortunately, the plane we flew that day also had a WX 1000 stormscope installed. He paid much more attention to the WX 1000 than the radar (I am talking about a good unit here - B/K RDR 2000 with VP).
Does anybody here know a website or any other publication that precisely describes the principle and limitations of the stormscope. The operation manual supplied isn't worth a dam^.
I just don't want to see certain people freaking out because they see some returns on that WX1000. There must be a good reason why air carrier operators and top-of-line business aircraft are lacking stormscopes.
