But the key factor is how far a storm night move; not very far. As
long as
the radar view is reasonably wide coverage, it should help in steering
around storm cells. Better than nothing, and not too expensive.




I guess I was focused in on the Mode S radar info as positioning other
'aircraft' on a screen - with the
10 minute delay.


Mode S radar will not give the pilot any weather info. It can't, unless
the FAA has now mandated Mr. Weather to have a mode C transponder in his
cloud. Weather info comes from primary radar.
