-iii- Envision EX5000 Notes and Warnings Notes and warnings provide guidance for the use of the EX5000. Avidyne strongly suggests that you pay close attention to notes and warnings for your own safety. For example: The instructions and warnings in this manual are not intended to replace the instructions and warnings for other equipment on your aircraft. It is critical that you as the pilot in command have a complete understanding of the warnings, operating instructions, and limitations for all equipment installed on your aircraft. Note: Notes provide useful information about how to use the EX5000. ! Warnings are prefaced with exclamation points and denote information that can prevent serious injury or death on the part of the user. ! This manual assumes that the reader is an appropriately licensed pilot. Avidyne strongly recommends that you use the EX5000 only under VFR conditions until you are very familiar with the EX5000. If you have questions, please contact Avidyne at 800-284- 3963 (800-AVIDYNE) before operating with the EX5000 under IFR conditions. ! Before conducting flight operations, be sure to verify that time and date settings on the System Time Setup page are correct and in GMT (UTC). It is critical that the time be set to GMT to provide accurate display of Datalink weather. See Section l, "Aux Main Page" on page 67 for more information. ! When using the EX5000, be sure to cross-check the data displayed against other data sources for accuracy including other flight deck instruments and charts.

600-00151-001 Rev 01

! The displayed terrain and obstacle indicators are only advisory. Do not rely on the EX5000 as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate terrain and obstacle information. ! The EX5000 is not intended to replace your navigation charts or primary navigation aids. Use the EX5000 as a supplement to other navigation sources, to enhance your overall situational awareness. Do not rely on the navigation data in your EX5000 as your sole reference for navigation. ! While a properly updated database contains the latest official information available, the manufacturers will not be held responsible for any inaccuracy or omissions therein. Never use the terrain displayed on the EX5000 as the only reference for terrain avoidance. ! The transmission of datalink weather information means there is some delay from real time until the weather information is displayed on the EX5000. Therefore, use datalink weather information only for strategic route planning. Avoid severe weather areas with a safe margin of distance. Do not use the EX5000 to penetrate severe weather, thunderstorms, cells or lines of cells. ! By using Broadcast datalink, you can access weather information made available from sources external to Avidyne Corporation. Avidyne does not control, edit or review the content of such information and is not responsible for such information or the actions or conduct of any company that provides sources of weather data through the Broadcast datalink. Therefore, ALL WEATHER DATA ARE PROVIDED AS-IS and neither Avidyne nor its suppliers, subcontractors, or developers (collectively called “Suppliers”) are responsible for: 1) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, content, or availability of the weather data or any other datalink information accessed; 2) loss or damage to your records or data; or 3) your use of, or results achieved from, the weather data or any other information accessed.

For TWX670 cell information, see the WxOvly key > TWXCELL selection. Only one mode can be displayed on the EX5000 MFD at any time. The EX5000 provides scalable support for a number of different weather sensors so you can use the MFD to get the best view of hazardous weather and options to avoid it. u Datalink - Displays lightning strikes obtained from the Datalink weather service, depending on the weather service and subscription level. Lightning strikes are represented by lightning bolts in white, yellow or dark yellow, depending on the age of the strike. u Strike - Displays lightning strikes obtained from the lightning sensor. Lightning strikes are displayed as follows: u WX-500 lightning strikes are displayed as yellow X’s. u TWX670 lightning strikes are displayed as X’s. Strike intensity is indicated using 5 colors from red to green-yellow. A strike displayed in red indicates an area of very high intensity, while a strike displayed in green-yellow indicates an area of low-to-moderate intensity. Note: The TWX670 can accurately display lightning strikes in all selectable ranges, including within 25 NM. Note: (WX-500 only) The lightning sensor maps thunderstorm activity by monitoring electrical discharge activity within a 200-mile radius of the aircraft. The WX500 does not accurately display lightning in ranges less than 25 NM. It can show lightning less than 25 NM, but the accuracy is not suitable to zoom in on. Display ranges greater than 25NM accurately display lightning strikes outside the 25 NM radius. Note: When strikes are selected to display along with TWX cell data, the strike colors change to white to improve visibility against the colored cells.

600-00151-001 Rev 01

u Cell - Displays storm cells using cell data obtained from a WX-500 stormscope. Each lightning strike is displayed as a yellow ‘+’ sign, and clumps of strikes indicate the cell and cell intensity. u Display Off - Turns display of lightning information off. n Clear Strikes—Removes current lightning symbols to allow for the refresh of lightning data when using a onboard lightning sensor. Does not remove Datalink lightning. n WX Rpts—Controls the type of Datalink weather information displayed on the map, as follows: u All—Displays graphical METARs, AIRMETs, and SIGMETs. u METARS—Displays graphical METARs only. u AIRMET—Displays graphical AIRMETs only. u SIGMET—Displays graphical SIGMETs only. u DSPLY OFF—Turns off display of all weather information. For more information about Datalink functions, see Section 8, "Datalink (Optional)" on page 79. 2) Map Functions—Controls basic look of the map in terms of orientation, number of elements, and base map. n View—Orients the map for either Track/Heading Up or North Up. FORWARD and CENTER views are oriented with Track/ Heading Up. North Up orients the map to true North, with the ownship symbol rotated to show track/heading. u Forward - 120° view with airplane’s present position displayed at the bottom. Current heading (or track) is displayed at the top of the map. u Center - 360° view with airplane’s present position displayed at the center of the compass range ring with current heading (or track) at the top of map. u North up - 360° view with airplane’s present position displayed at the center, and north is always at the top of the map.

-11- Envision EX5000 n Declutter—Controls the four levels of navigation database detail on the Map from most to least: n Base Map—Controls the base map layers: u TERRAIN—Color-contoured terrain, bodies of water, and political boundaries. u BASE—Bodies of water and Political boundaries u NONE—No base map n Wx Ovly - Weather Overlay controls the type of weather information displayed on the map. Press Wx Ovly to cycle through the display options: u US, CAN or LOC RDR - If Broadcast Datalink is installed and available, the single down arrow displays basic Datalink RADAR information on the map. Storm cell movement is not displayed. The external Broadcast Datalink receiver receives a constant stream of weather data for the entire United States via a satellite radio system. US RDR displays CONUS weather. CAN RDR displays Canadian weather. LOC RDR displays regional radar for ADS-B configurations u US RDR+ - If Broadcast Datalink is installed and available (depending on your Datalink service level), the single down arrow and plus sign displays full Datalink RADAR for CONUS, including storm cells. For many operations, the EX5000 displays weather data in the same way, regardless of which Datalink system is in use. Both systems provide datalink radar data—a composite image depicting precipitation as seen by multiple ground-based weather radar sites. The image is color-coded to show intensity levels and precipitation types. Broadcast Datalink, however, especially at a á á á

600-00151-001 Rev 01

higher service level, provides more data (such as storm cell movement and Datalink lightning). u TWXCELL - If Wx Ovly is set to TWXCELL, the EX5000 displays thunderstorm cells detected by the TWX670, using colors (Table 2.1) to indicate levels of storm intensity. For example, Figure 2.2 shows an aircraft located at the edge of intense thunderstorm activity. In this instance, the aircraft must be flown away from the thunderstorm. The TWX670 detects and measures lightning strike energy and generates cell data that the EX5000 displays in ! For Datalink RADAR, small areas of high-intensity datalink radar data might not be displayed on the EX5000 at high range settings. Instead, larger areas of surrounding lower- intensity returns might obstruct indications of severe precipitation at Map ranges higher than 250 nm. Avoid using Map ranges greater than 250 nm when RADAR echoes are shown in the vicinity of the aircraft.

-13- Envision EX5000 color. This mode shows dangerous convective areas that you must avoid. Figure 2.2 TWXCELL Mode Display The TWX670 sensor outputs hexagons of varying widths from 0.5 NM to 10.0 NM. Occasionally, as the MFD display is zoomed, you may notice that the hexagon size changes abruptly. This is normal as the MFD consistently uses the highest fidelity TWX lightning data available. Note: If cells appear in the same location as navaids, obstacles, or TFRs, the cells will cover part or all of the navaids, obstacles, or TFRs. To more clearly view the navaids, obstacles, or TFRs, turn off the TWXCELL mode by pressing WxOvly and selecting DSPLY OFF or one of the other options. When desired, you can switch back to CELLMODE to see the storm cells.

600-00151-001 Rev 01

Table 2.1 describes the colors displayed by the EX5000. The TWX670 detects thunderstorm cell activity up to a 200 nm range. The range control on the EX5000 enables you to zoom in or out to see the distribution of convective activity. If both datalink weather and TWX670 are installed in the aircraft, you can use both to determine the best course of action to avoid dangerous weather. u RADAR - Displays on-board weather radar returns on the map. This choice does not appear if the EX5000 is not configured with an aircraft heading source, or if aircraft heading is currently unavailable. u DSPLY OFF - Removes all onboard and datalink radar data from the map display. Table 2.1Thunderstorm Activity (Cell) Colors Color Interpretation Red Intense thunderstorm activity - presence of hazardous atmospheric conditions is certain. Orange Weather conditions are approaching intense thunderstorm activity. Orange- Yellow Heavy thunderstorm activity - high likelihood of hazardous atmospheric conditions. Yellow Weather conditions are approaching heavy thunderstorm activity. Green- Yellow Moderate thunderstorm activity - severe turbulence and unsettled atmospheric conditions likely. Green Weather conditions are approaching moderate thunderstorm activity. ! Color representing less intense thunderstorms does not imply that it is acceptable or safe to fly in those areas. Always avoid areas of indicated thunderstorm activity, regardless of color displayed. Note: The boundary of the available datalink radar data is shown by an area with gray diagonal stripes. If datalink radar is unavailable in a particular area, hatched lines appear in that area.

-15- Envision EX5000 3) Range Control knob—The right knob controls the map’s range and allows you to set the scale from 1NM out to 1500NM. The selectable ranges are, in nautical miles, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1000, and 1500. Note: The terrain base map is automatically removed and Nav database information is fully decluttered at 750NM and higher ranges. Note: The Map page monitors the “health” of the sensors (traffic and lightning) by means of a signal pulse. Map looks for a signal every three seconds from each sensor. If it doesn’t see this signal it assumes the sensor has failed in some way. When this happens, the following occurs on the display: • Sensor data is removed from the overlay display. • The word “FAIL” displays in the sensor's status line in yellow. • The sensor symbol changes from cyan to yellow (if the sensor was on). What to do: Select the Setup page and perform Self-Test for the applicable sensor.

Obstacles can be displayed with MSL altitude label. 7) Compass Rose/Range Ring—Displays a 360-degree or 120- degree compass circle or arc and also indicates current range setting. The range number is the distance from the airplane symbol to the compass arc. ! The displayed terrain and obstacle indicators are only advisory. It is dangerous to rely on the EX5000 as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate terrain and obstacle information. Note: For example, a 2000 foot tall TV tower located in Denver (elevation 5300 feet MSL) will be depicted as being at 7300 feet MSL.

Map Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan

600-00151-001 Rev 01 -19- Envision EX5000 2.3 Map Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan When looking at the Map page in short range, you can see details, such as runway diagrams, that are not available at longer ranges. Note that your flight plan is always shown. Figure 2.4 Map Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan 1) Ownship Symbol—Shows the position of your aircraft in relation to the moving map and the selected view. 2) Flight Plan—Displays the active flight plan from the GPS. The current leg displays in magenta and all remaining legs are shown in white. When you select an approach procedure on the Garmin 430, all approach segments including holds, DME arcs, procedure turns, etc., are shown (when connected via the ARINC 429 bus). Note: For most GPS units, the EX5000 does not display the active course leg when you are adjusting the desired track in OBS mode. The desired track leg will be displayed after you finish selecting the course and exit the OBS mode of the GPS. 5 1 4 2 3

3) Airport Runway Diagrams—Displays runway layouts of nearby airports when looking at the map at a less than 5NM range. As you range in, the scaled runway diagram with heading labels shows your exact location in proximity to the field. 4) Traffic Indications—Shows traffic symbol relative to current position and includes relative altitude (when available) with respect to airplane symbol. See your traffic sensor User’s Manual for further details. When available, TIS installations will show a ground track “stinger” for each intruder, indicating the intruder’s track as measured by ground radar. Traffic Symbols are shown in Table 4.1 Traffic Symbols on page 50. 5) Interstate Highways—Depicted as brown lines when terrain is selected to be shown. Interstates are labeled in white. (e.g. I-95). Highways are removed from the terrain map when the range is greater than 300NM. 2.4 Map Orientation Control The Map View button allows you to control the orientation of the map and sensor data displayed on the EX5000. EX5000 traffic and lightning sensor symbols are positioned relative to the aircraft nose. When the Map View is North-Up you need to pay more attention to locate traffic outside the aircraft. Set Map View to Center or Forward to display this data consistent with typical dedicated traffic and lightning sensor displays. Note: The Garmin GNS 430/GNC 420 does not differentiate curved flight path segments from straight segments when interfaced with the EX5000 via an RS232 interface. Therefore, the EX5000 will connect the beginning and end waypoints of a curved segment, such as a DME arc, with a straight line. Under these circumstances, the straight line must be ignored. Approach procedures should be flown using the GNS 430/GNC 420 navigator’s CDI as the primary reference. Consult your avionics installation facility to determine if your EX5000 is interfaced to the GNS 430/GNC420 via ARINC 429 or RS232. Note: The Garmin 400W/500W can use the parallel track. For Garmin 400W/500W software at Release 2 or earlier, if a parallel track is active, the current non-offset leg will be displayed in white. For Garmin 400W/ 500W software at Release 3 or later, if a parallel track is active, the parallel track leg will be displayed in white.

Errors Displayed on the Map Page

600-00151-001 Rev 01 -21- Envision EX5000 2.5 Errors Displayed on the Map Page In general, the following errors are generated externally to the MFD, but you may notice them on the Map or other pages within FlightMax. 2.5.1 Loss of GPS Input Loss of primary GPS is annunciated in a number of ways on your EX5000. l The “Nav Source not communicating” message displays. l The aircraft symbol is removed. l There is no heading information displayed (if GPS is lost, no heading is displayed regardless of heading source). l The desired track icon is removed from the compass rose. l There is no groundspeed information displayed. The EX5000 continues to provide Datalink weather for your flight at its last known position. If the primary GPS fails during flight and you have a second GPS connected to the EX5000, you may switch your GPS input to the backup source by pressing the Nav Src button on the Aux page. 2.5.2 Loss of Heading Input The source for heading data on your aircraft is dependent upon the particular complement of equipment you have installed in your aircraft. Loss of heading is typically associated with the failure of one of the following: l The WX-500 Stormscope system (if installed and a heading source is connected to the WX-500). l The Skywatch system (if installed and a heading source is connected to the TAS). l A problem with heading from a Primary Flight Display (PFD). l The GPS (This would be a pass through of the heading from another source, such as an Avidyne PFD. The GPS does not determine heading). If an installed heading source becomes unavailable or invalid, the EX5000 will automatically switch to using GPS track for map alignment.

600-00151-001 Rev 01

If the track source also becomes unavailable or invalid, the following conditions will occur: l All traffic and lightning data is removed from the display. l The aircraft symbol is replaced by a direction-less symbol (a white + symbol). l The compass labels (N,S, E, and W) are removed from the display. l The map and flight plan data will continue to be displayed. l The map orientation annunciation is removed from the display. l The heading/track indicator will display a series of dashes (“---”) l The map is oriented True North Up. What to do: l Have the avionics wiring inspected. When heading/track is restored, Map will resume normal operations.

3 CMax Chart Pages (Optional) CMax™ is an optional Avidyne feature that allows you to view Jeppesen Terminal Procedure charts on your EX5000. If CMax is installed on your aircraft, you can select Charts from the Page Bar to view the CMax charts. This section discusses the following topics: l Not for Navigation Watermark on Chart display, page 26 l About Geo-Referenced Charts, page 28 l CMax Chart Page, page 28 l 4.2 European VFR Charts, page 33 l CMax Selection Page, page 39 3.1 Expired Charts CMaxTM charts are valid for a period of 56 days. Charts will be displayed normally for 10 weeks after the chart expiration date. After 10 weeks from the chart expiration date, charts will display a "NOT FOR NAVIGATION" watermark. The Ownship symbol and flight plan legs are removed from charts that cannot be used for navigation. ! As pilot in command, it is your duty to have alternate sources of approach data available to you. Do not rely upon CMAX charts as your sole source of navigation information. ! It is critical that you update the Jeppesen database regularly and prior to conducting flight operations to insure accurate data. Use of an outdated database is entirely at your own risk.

-27- Envision EX5000 3.2 About CMax CMax charts include instrument approach procedures, arrivals, departures, airport diagrams, and various taxiway and airspace diagrams typical of Jeppesen printed charts. CMax requires that you have a valid chart data subscription from Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. For information on obtaining a CMax subscription, see the Avidyne Data Update Guide or the Jeppesen website at www.jeppesen.com. The Data Update Guide also contains instructions for loading the chart data to your Zip Drive or USB Flash Memory Drive. See Section 9.1, "Updating Your Databases" on page 88 for information about loading CMax Data onto your EX5000. Note: You can load new CMax Chart data into the MFD as soon as you receive each data cycle. Any charts that have changes that are effective on a certain date are controlled within the data. The MFD will display the proper Chart data based on the current date and the effective date of the changes to the chart.

CMax Chart Pages (Optional)

Envision EX5000 -28- 600-00151-001 Rev 01 3.3 About Geo-Referenced Charts The greatest additions to situational awareness come from charts that are geo-referenced. A chart is geo-referenced when the chart data supports a correlation of chart position to actual latitude and longitude coordinates. This allows an ownship symbol and flight plan legs to be accurately represented on the chart. If a chart is not geo-referenced, the ownship and flight plan legs cannot be drawn on the chart. Most Jeppesen approach charts and airport diagrams are geo-referenced; most arrival, departure, and miscellaneous charts are not. 3.4 CMax Chart Page The CMax function is found on the EX5000 as the Chart page, listed in the Page Selector bar if CMax is enabled on your EX5000. The Chart page is capable of having two charts ready for viewing at any one time: an airport diagram, and a procedure chart (or other miscellaneous chart associated with that airport). The airport and associated charts are selected on the Chart Selection page, described in Section 3.7, "CMax Selection Page" on page 39. The EX5000 Startup page reports the valid dates for the currently loaded chart data. If the date for the next update has passed, the Startup page will report this in yellow cautionary text. If the chart data becomes more than 10 weeks out of date, access to the charts shall be revoked until new chart data is loaded. On power up, if your EX5000 is receiving a valid position from your GPS unit, the Chart page will default to display the airport diagram of your current position. An approach procedure chart will not be displayed until one is selected. If no valid GPS position is available at start-up, the Chart page will default to the Chart Selection page for manual selection of a chart. If you select the Chart page immediately upon power up, CMax may still be initializing and will display the following message: “CMax Initializing/Please Wait.” The Chart page will begin normal operation when initialization completes. On landing, if the Chart page is being displayed, the EX5000 will automatically switch to display the Airport diagram for the current location when the GPS Ground Speed drops below 50 knots.

600-00151-001 Rev 01 -29- Envision EX5000 The Chart page shows the airport diagram of the current airport, with ownship symbol for current aircraft position, if the airport diagram is geo-referenced. Figure 3.2 CMax Chart Page (Airport) 1) Airport Identifier—The airport identifier for the current airport displays in green. 2) Chart Name—The name of the current chart being displayed, also in green. 3) Geo-referenced Symbol—When the displayed chart is geo- referenced, a small globe displays. If the chart is not geo- referenced, the globe symbol is crossed out. 4) Flight Plan Symbol—an FPL symbol indicates the option to display the current flight plan is turned on. If the display of flight plan is turned off, the FPL symbol is crossed out. Note that if a chart is not geo-referenced or no flight plan is received from the GPS, the flight plan cannot be displayed even if the option is selected. 1 2 4 11 6 7 5 3 9 10 8

The chart nominally remains fixed and the ownship symbol moves across the chart with aircraft movement. 10) Pan Buttons—The right-hand buttons allow you to manually move the chart on the screen. The pan buttons are only active when the current view can be panned. The Plan view of each chart can generally be panned; many information pages, such as header and departure views, cannot. Not shown: Center—When you use Pan, the Center button is displayed to allow you to re-center the chart. When panning, the aircraft position, and ownship symbol, may move towards or off the edges of the chart area. Press Center to re-center the chart on the current position hide the Center button. 11) Zoom Control knob—The right knob allows you to zoom the chart for close-up examination of a specific area. The label only appears when the current view can be zoomed. Most information view pages, such as headers, cannot be zoomed. If you have panned the chart, zooming all the way out to the full-screen chart size also re-centers the chart on the screen. A typical approach procedure chart is shown in Figure 3.3:

If a flight plan does not display, check that you selected the correct airport and approach. 2) Flight Plan Active Leg—The active leg of the current flight plan, if displayed, is magenta. Non-active legs are shown in green. Note: The Garmin 400W/500W can use the parallel track. For Garmin 400W/500W software at Release 2 or earlier, if a parallel track is active, the current non-offset leg will be displayed in white. For Garmin 400W/ 500W software at Release 3 or later, if a parallel track is active, the parallel track leg will be displayed in white. Note: The ownship symbol on the Chart page is always oriented according to the current GPS ground track. Therefore, the ownship is always pointed in the direction the aircraft is moving, and does not show any crab angle induced by crosswind components. 2 1

Pressing the ACK button next to the message acknowledges the traffic alert and displays the dedicated traffic page that provides you maximum traffic situational awareness. 4.1 The Dedicated Traffic Page The dedicated Traffic page is a specially configured Map page with the following settings: l View—Center, with heading (or track) up l Range—5 NM l Base Map—No terrain or political boundaries l Declutter—No symbol or airspace depictions l Lightning—Not displayed l Flight Plan—Displayed ! It is dangerous to rely on the EX5000 as your sole source of data for collision avoidance. Traffic information is provided as an aid to visually acquiring traffic. Maneuver your aircraft based only on ATC guidance or positive acquisition of conflicting traffic. It is your duty as pilot in command to see and avoid. Notes: The intruder track information provided by TIS traffic systems is only accurate to within 45° of true intruder track. Take this into account when visually acquiring the reported traffic. Keep in mind that intruder traffic can maneuver at any time, and the current intruder track direction does not guarantee the intruder will continue along that track. For traffic sensors without track information (e.g. TAS), traffic symbols are shown without the “stinger”.

If a compatible TIS system is installed and intruder track information is available, the appropriate symbol will be shown with a “stinger” which depicts the current ground track of the intruder, as detected by ATC radar systems. Traffic symbols are: Traffic alert information is displayed in the message bar as shown in the example above. 1) Relative bearing of target. 2) Range in nautical miles. Table 4.1 Traffic Symbols Non-TIS Symbol TIS Symbol Type Meaning Traffic Alert (TA) Traffic within the alert zone defined by the traffic sensor. Proximate Traffic Traffic close to your position but not within an alert zone. Other Traffic Traffic detected by the traffic sensor, but determined not to be a current threat. ! Traffic sensors do not provide any traffic awareness data for aircraft without operating transponders. Therefore, these aircraft will not display on the EX5000. It is your responsibility to see and avoid all other traffic and to maintain appropriate separation. 1 2 3

TIS Sensor Status

600-00151-001 Rev 01 -51- Envision EX5000 3) Relative altitude, for example, -200 would be 200 feet below. For example, -200 would be 200 feet below your aircraft, as reported by the traffic sensor. Intruders are displayed as they are received from and identified by the sensor. The threat level assigned to an intruder is specified by the sensor when it transmits the intruder data. Threat data, range, bearing, altitude, ID and closing direction are defined by the sensor and the type of sensor used in your system. If the intruder altitude and vertical speed are known, they are displayed alongside the intruder symbol. The number immediately above or below the traffic symbol indicates the relative altitude of the intruder to your position, in hundreds of feet. An arrow next to an intruder symbol shows the direction of any vertical movement of the intruder that is in excess of 400 feet per minute. For example, in the Traffic Alert example shown in Table 4.1, the intruder is 500 feet below and is climbing. In addition, this example with an intruder track shows the intruder is moving along a track approximately 45 degrees to the right of our current map alignment. (i.e. if the EX5000 map is set for North Up, the intruder is flying a track somewhere between 023 and 067. This is the accuracy limit of the intruder track data.) 4.3 TIS Sensor Status For TIS installations, the following may be reported in the Traffic status block on the EX5000 Map page: l OPER—The TIS sensor is operating normally. l CST 00:00—The TIS sensor has temporarily lost the information feed from ground-based radar and is in “coast” mode. The EX5000 will continue to display the traffic last received, while the CST timer will count the seconds since the last valid data. l RMV 00:00—After 12 seconds of coasting, the TIS sensor will remove the traffic display and display RMV, and continue to count the time since the last valid data. l UNAVAIL—More than 60 seconds have passed since valid data was received, or TIS data is not available at the current aircraft location. l SBY—The TIS sensor is in standby mode.

MFD CMOS Battery Operation and Replacement

600-00151-001 Rev 01 -77- Envision EX5000 7.5 MFD CMOS Battery Operation and Replacement 7.5.1 CMOS Battery A CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) battery is used in the EX5000 Series of MFDs to maintain the system clock. On average, CMOS batteries have been shown to last over 10 years. The clock in the EX5000 Series of MFDs is used to display the current time to the operator and to determine, among other things, the age of datalink products. Additionally, this clock is also used to tag logged data and in calculations such as ETA. Replacement of a CMOS battery is optional. The following section describes the steps that are needed to operate an EX5000 Series MFD with a nonfunctioning CMOS battery 7.5.2 Operating without a CMOS Battery This section specifies the recommended steps that should be taken if/ when the CMOS battery is no longer capable of maintaining the system time in an EX5000 Series MFD. Without a CMOS battery, the system will report the current year to be 2000. If this is the case, the system setting should be checked to make sure the "manual" mode of clock update is not enabled. Follow the prescribed steps in the "System Time Page" section of the EX5000 Pilot Guide to set the system to either the "Auto" or "GPS" selection (either selection will update the MFD with the appropriate time). No other actions are required in order to update the system time. When the system time selection is set to "Auto" or "GPS", the MFD will automatically correct the system time using the incoming GPS data once it is available. All Cirrus, Piper and Lancair OEM configurations, which include the EX5000, are attached to a GPS (GNS430 or IFD440/IFD540) and hence will automatically correct the system time upon battery failure if configured to default to GPS time. Until the GPS time is acquired by the connected GPS, the EX5000 Series of MFDs will display an incorrect time. The connected GPS system typically takes 45 seconds or less to acquire GPS time following system startup. Since the GPS position (and thus time) is available prior to takeoff the time will always be correct prior to takeoff.

-79- Envision EX5000 8 Datalink (Optional) Datalink services allow you to view weather and other data on the Map and Trip pages. Avidyne offers Broadcast Datalink and ADS-B FIS-B data. For most operations, the EX5000 weather data display is the same regardless of which Datalink system is in use.

600-00151-001 Rev 01

8.1 Broadcast Datalink The EX5000 supports an optional Broadcast Datalink receiver, either: l An ADS-B FIS-B receiver. l An XM receiver that supports XM WX. Figure 8.1 Broadcast Receiver Options Both receivers receive a constant stream of weather data. Broadcast Datalink requires a fixed monthly subscription. XM provides US and Canadian Radar, METARS, and TAFs. 8.1.1 Using Broadcast Datalink in Flight The Broadcast Datalink receiver receives weather data continuously. It is not necessary to enable or disable the receipt of individual types of data. You can control the display of received data on the Map, Trip or NRST pages. Note: The boundary of the available datalink radar data is shown by an area with diagonal stripes. In normal operation, this boundary follows the outline of CONUS if US RDR is selected, or the extent of Canadian Radar if CAN RDR is selected. If, however, datalink radar is unavailable in a particular area for any reason, the hatched lines appear in that area. In the mountains and off the coast, hatched lines may represent no coverage below 10,000 feet. If there are

8.2 Symbols Displayed using Datalink This section describes the symbols displayed using Broadcast Datalink. Figure 8.2, below, displays many of the Broadcast Datalink symbols (though one hopes you are not flying in similar weather). For a complete list of Map symbols, see Chapter 2 "Map Page".” Figure 8.2 Broadcast Datalink Weather l Lightning strike symbols—Depending on your broadcast service level, lightning information from the broadcast datalink weather is matched to grid coordinates with a resolution of approximately 2 NM. Overlapping lightning symbols may be decluttered for clarity: l METAR symbols—Each METAR reporting station shown on the Map page will have a METAR condition flag displayed. The color of the METAR flag indicates the current conditions at that airport: l AIRMETs/SIGMETs—Depending on your broadcast service level, AIRMETs and SIGMETs are shown as ribbed lines enclosing the area of the advisory and are color coded and

600-00151-001 Rev 01 -83- Envision EX5000 labeled as to their type. For more details, see Table 9.7 Airspace and Airways Lines on page 101. l Datalink Radar Images—The XM Datalink Radar images are delivered with a resolution of approximately 1 NM. The EX5000 smoothes the edges of the Datalink Radar images, so that the images are not distracting at smaller zoom ranges. The Datalink Radar colors conform to aviation standards: green, yellow, red, and magenta depict varying intensities of rainfall, and shades of blue for snow and pink for mixed precipitation. A handy legend for the Datalink Radar colors is found on the Trip page: l Storm Cells—If storm cells are present, the EX5000 displays the cells along with the cell’s groundspeed, in knots, and direction of travel. If there is a greater than 50% chance of hail, the cell is displayed with a white background. It also shows echo tops.. Note:At longer range settings, individual lightning strikes and storm cells are combined into single strikes or single storm cells, depending on their proximity. This avoids clutter and improves readability. And vice versa, lower map range settings will display more strikes and storm cells. l TFR—Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are reported over the Broadcast Datalink. TFRs are shown with solid red lines on the Map page. Note that at a full Map Declutter setting (all navigation data and airspace removed), TFRs will also be removed from the display.
