Weather systems such as weather radar ( typically Arinc 708 on commercial aircraft ) and lightning detectors are important for aircraft flying at night or in instrument meteorological conditions, where it is not possible for pilots to see the weather ahead.

In addition to radar and lightning detection, observations and extended radar pictures ( such as NEXRAD ) are now available through satellite data connections, allowing pilots to see weather conditions far beyond the range of their own in-flight systems.
