Product catalog summary
Overview
Avidyne's TWX670 is a third-generation lightning-based weather detection system designed for tactical weather avoidance. It provides real-time, color-contoured displays of surrounding weather, focusing on lightning detection as a primary indicator of thunderstorms.

Key Features
  • Real-Time Detection: Accurately detects electrical discharges, offering tactical weather avoidance in the critical 0-25nm range.
  • Color-Contoured Display: Displays storm cell intensities in color contours, aiding in the identification of areas with potential hazards like wind shear and turbulence.
  • Advanced Signal Processing: Minimizes radial spread and allows for close-range strike display.
  • Compatibility: Works with Avidyne and many third-party displays, including Garmin systems.

Product Specifications
  • TWX670 Sensor: TSO-C110a certified, dimensions 2.5" x 4.0" x 7.9", weight 1.4 lbs, power 10-30 VDC.
  • ANT67 Antenna: Dimensions 5.0" x 1.3" x 9.5", weight 1.7 lbs.

Display Modes
  • TWxCell Mode: Displays a hexagonal array of cell weights, highlighting intense thunderstorm regions.
  • Strike Mode: Displays up to 1024 strikes over 3 minutes, with color indicating regional activity.
  • Compatibility Mode: Supports monochromatic lightning strikes on third-party displays while maintaining accuracy and tactical benefits.

Installation and Warranty
Installation requires specialized skills and equipment, and the warranty is valid only for installations by Authorized Avidyne Distributors. Avidyne reserves the right to change specifications without notice.

TWX670 T actical Weather Detection System The TWX670 brings a whole new level of weather avoidance technology to the general aviation flight deck. EX5000 MFD with Cell/Strike Mode. The TWX670 T actical Weather Detection System Avidyne’s new TWX670 is a third-generation lightning-based weather detection system that provides a simple and intuitive color-contoured display with an instantaneous picture of surrounding weather. Great Accuracy Means Truly T actical Weather Detection The TWX670 is the first and only lightning-based, real time, tactical, color weather avoidance solution. It accurately detects and clearly displays electrical discharges–the primary indicator of thunderstorms–in real time, regardless of aircraft maneuvering. With its significantly-improved accuracy over previous-generation lightning detection systems, the TWX670 provides true tactical weather avoidance in the critical 0 – 25nm range, making it a perfect complement to the strategic benefits of satellite-based datalink weather. EX600 MFD with TwxCell Mode. Completing the Picture Lightning is one of the first physical properties of a storm cell that can be detected, and unlike precipitation, lightning is the best determinant of dangerous thunderstorm activity. Storm cells and their intensities are displayed in color contours eliminating the guess-work associated with interpreting legacy weather displays. Providing a color-contoured map of a thunderstorm’s electrical activity over time, the TWX670 easily allows the pilot to determine the areas of greatest intensity, and clearly identify areas with potential for convective wind shear, turbulence, microbursts, hail and icing. The TWX670’s advanced signal processing, calibration, and noise immunity minimizes radial spread and allows for the display of closerange strikes from 0nm-25nm for true Tactical Weather Detection.

Truly T actical Weather TWxCell Mode™ Product Features With the TWX670’s color-contoured TWxCell Mode, each cell grid is displayed as a hexagonal array of cell weights (colors). Color-filled hexagons highlight the most intense regions of thunderstorm activity, presenting a visually contoured color display with dynamic sectors. TWxCell Mode permits the pilot to quickly identify the most intense regions of thunderstorm activity. • Close-range lightning detection (0nm-25nm and up to 200nm) • Geo-stabilized lightning • Audible callouts • High degree of noise immunity • Clear and Restore capability...
