![]() ![]() At that moment 4 commercial big jets asked radar to allow them changing course for avoiding the weather approaching PIS - it was too late for me - I was there. Of course it turned out that this TCu in next 5 mins developed to Cb :( exactly when I arrived. However, in next 5 min a lot of Cu development emerged with some embedded TCu and I descended into solid Cu layer heading more-less in direction of one TCu (exactly above PIS). Arriving to RUDIK point the situation looked exactly as expected with some TCu in front of me in the area of PIS NDB. I turned stormscope to realize that it didn't work showing some error (antenna fault - has to be replaced). My passanger was pretty cool with rain shower until she spotted first lightning and noticed auto-pilot turned itself off due to heavy turbulence and I was manually flying the aircraft.īefore departing Dubrovnik I analyzed situation with guy at meteo office and conclusion was that there was possibility of isolated TCu development in RUDIK area which wasn't supposed to develop to Cb. You should've been with me yesterday - right through embeded Cb on decent from RUDIK to PIS on arrival to LDZA. ![]() We don't have any nearby lightning strikes in the UK at the moment. And the KI229 RMI was removed 2 days ago. The TAS605 traffic system went in in December 2012 (and the TAS605 box is right next to the WX500), and I did have huge problems with the installer having bodged that job. But I think that whenever Error 18 is showing, it isn't doing anything. What I can't be sure of is whether the WX500 is still working, We don't have any nearby lightning strikes in the UK at the moment. 1500hrs is about right for a total running time of this WX500. The installation manual puts it more strongly (page 52 of the PDF).įunnily enough, a look at the WX500 error log shows that Error 18 has been happening intermittently for a while - yearsĪssuming that error log really shows hours, this means it has been going on intermittently for a very long time. Unfortunately the WX500 stormscope (displayed on the KMD550) now complains with Error 18 which is variously described as a "processor fault" here (page 14 of the PDF), and a notification of a need to recalibrate here. My KI229 RMI was removed (redundant due to the SN3500 EHSI) and replaced with the 3" EDM700. ![]()
