PROCESSOR, WX-1000 (P/N 78-8060-5790-3) - As Removed

The 78-8060-5790-3 is the WX-1000 Stormscope processor by L3 Avionics Systems, serving as the central processing unit in lightning detection systems. This avionics component receives sferics (electromagnetic signals) from the antenna, analyzes lightning discharge activity, and drives the cockpit display for real-time weather avoidance. Installed in compatible aircraft equipped with WX-1000 weather radar systems, the processor enables pilots to identify and navigate around convective activity.

Installation and testing follow the avionics maintenance manual with IPC verification required before replacement.
