Well, basically, every plane designed to fly in serious weather has radar,
not spherics. With radar you see the problem, with spherics you hear it.

Every plane designed to fly in "serious weather" is a pressurized turboprop
or jet, which gives a whole lot more options for flying above weather than
any piston airplane.

At the altitudes and airspeds attainable by piston airplanes, spherics beats
radar hands-down.
