Introduction Entegra EX5000 -4- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 1.2 Power Up On power up, the system performs a brief hardware self-test, then systematically initializes its functions. After the system initializes (about a minute after power-on), the title page, with database currency information, is displayed. Check to ensure that you do not have any expired databases before continuing. When the EX5000 is ready the, “Press any bezel key to continue,” message is displayed. Figure 1.2 Entegra EX5000 Initialization Page The EX5000 Startup Page reports the valid dates for the currently loaded CMax™ chart data and NavData. Check to ensure that you do not have any expired databases before continuing. Power Up 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -5- Entegra EX5000 For CMax data: ● If the issue date for the next update has passed, the Startup Page displays “Update Available” in white. ● If the current date is more than a week past the issue of the next update, “Update Required” displays in yellow cautionary text. ● If CMax is more than 10 weeks out of date, access to the charts is revoked until new CMax data is loaded. For NavData, the date range displays if the data is valid; if it is not valid, the word, “EXPIRED,” and the expiration data are displayed in yellow. For more information about updating CMax and NavData, see Section 12.1, "Updating Your Databases" on page 122. Introduction Entegra EX5000 -6- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 This page intentionally left blank. Entegra EX5000 -7- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 2 Map Page The Map Page displays your current flight plan overlaying a map of the area over which you are flying. The EX5000 allows you to select the data you want to display on the Map Page. Turn the Select knob on the Page Bar to Map to display the Map Page. This section discusses the following topics: ● Map Page—Controls, page 8 ● Map Page Symbols—Terrain and Position, page 12 ● Map Page Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan, page 16 ● Map Orientation Control, page 18 ● Errors Displayed on the Map Page, page 19 Map Page Entegra EX5000 -8- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 2.1 Map Page—Controls Bezel keys on the left side of the screen provide access to sensor modes and pages. Bezel keys on the right side of the screen provide access the mapping functions and control how the Map is viewed. Figure 2.1 Map Page Controls Note: For information about the Map Symbols, see Section 12.5, "Map Symbols" on page 135. 1 3 2 Map Page—Controls 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -9- Entegra EX5000 1) Sensor Functions—Control overlay and modes of available sensors. Buttons only display for the sensors installed in your aircraft: ■ Traffic—Cycles through traffic sensor modes.See Chapter 3 "Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page ,” for more information on traffic modes. ■ Lightning—Depending on your broadcast service level, when both Broadcast Datalink and an on-board lightning sensor are installed, cycles through lightning sensor modes and overlays in the following order; Strike, Cell (WX-500), Datalink, Display Off. When only one source of lightning data is installed, only the appropriate modes are available. See your lightning sensor User’s Manual for further details. ■ Clear Strikes—Removes current lightning symbols to allow for the refresh of lightning data when using a on-board lightning sensor. Does not remove Datalink lightning. ■ WX Rpts—Controls the type of Datalink weather information displayed on the map, as follows: ◆ All—Displays graphical METARs, AIRMETs, and SIGMETs. ◆ METARS—Displays graphical METARs only. ◆ AIRMET—Displays graphical AIRMETs only. ◆ SIGMET—Displays graphical SIGMETs only. ◆ DSPLY OFF—Turns off display of all weather information. For more information about Datalink functions, see Section 10.5, "Map Page with Datalink Weather" on page 100. 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. However, the WX-500 does not display lightning strikes within 25 NM. Map Page Entegra EX5000 -10- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 2) Map Functions—Controls basic look of the map in terms of orientation, number of elements, and base map. ■ 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. ■ Declutter—Controls the four levels of navigation database detail on the Map from most to least: ■ Base Map—Controls the base map layers: ◆ TERRAIN—Color-contoured terrain, bodies of water, and political boundaries. ◆ BASE—Bodies of water and Political boundaries ◆ NONE—No base map ■ WX Ovly—Controls the type of weather information displayed on the map. Pressing this button toggles the display between: ◆ — If Narrowcast Datalink is installed, displays Narrowcast NEXRAD information on the map. Narrowcast uses two-way messaging to send your flight plan to the Avidyne Network Operations Center (NOC), which then sends you only the data pertinent to your flight. ◆ — Displays Broadcast NEXRAD information on the map. Storm cell icons are not displayed. For most operations, the EX5000 displays weather data the same way regardless of which Datalink system is in Note: (For WSI weather) If you have an Avidyne MLB700 Sirius receiver installed, you have a WSI weather subscription. WSI's premium radar product is called NOWRAD, which is data derived from the NEXRAD doppler radar system and processed by WSI. The EX5000 and this document use the generic term NEXRAD throughout to refer to datalink radar imagery (NEXRAD or NOWRAD). ➡ ➡ ➡ Map Page—Controls 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -11- Entegra EX5000 use. Both systems provide NEXRAD data; a composite image depicting precipitation as seen by multiple ground- based weather radar sites. The image is color-coded to show both intensity levels and precipitation types. For more information about Datalink, see Section 10.1, "About Datalink Services" on page 93. ◆ — The (+) plus option shows the broadcast NEXRAD overlay with storm cell icons. This option may not be available depending on your broadcast subscription level. ◆ NONE - Removes all NEXRAD data from the map display. 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. Map Page Entegra EX5000 -12- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 2.2 Map Page Symbols—Terrain and Position The EX5000 Map Page depicts your aircraft’s position in relation to your flight plan, nearby airports, terrain, traffic, lightning, special use airspace and other navaids. Figure 2.2 Map Page Symbols–Terrain and Position 1) Data Blocks (Left & Right)—View navigation and engine (when equipped with engine monitor) data in data blocks in the upper corners of the display. For more information, see Section 8.4, "Data Block Edit Page" on page 71.

The H/T Block provides digital readout of the current heading, or actual track. Map orientation is indicated in the triangle to the right of the H/T Block. 3) Sensor Status Box—Displays the status of the available sensors including radar, traffic, lightning and both 2-Way Datalink and Broadcast Datalink. The NEXRAD (NXR) display includes the NEXRAD data age, which is the elapsed time since the product was created by the weather provider. See Table 12.1 Sensor Status Block Symbols on page 133 for more information on status box symbols. (Engine Instrument Sensor Status information is described in Table 12.11 Engine Instrument Data Block Information on page 140). 4) Terrain Scale—Shows highest and lowest limits of terrain in displayed area. Legend colors in between these numerics represent terrain elevations. Blue obstacle clearance number shows the top of the highest obstacle, when greater than the Table 2.1 Track Indicator Graphics Heading Track Map Orientation Heading Desired Track North Up Track Heading Heading Up Actual Track Track Up Note: NEXRAD is the only Broadcast Datalink product on the EX5000 that displays the time since the product was created by the weather provider. Refer to the Trip page for information on all other weather products. ! When using Datalink weather, monitor the data age so you are aware of the time elapsed since the last weather update. Map Page Entegra EX5000 -14- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 highest displayed terrain. Terrain data is not displayed when your aircraft’s latitude is greater than 75 degrees (north or south). 5) Special Use Airspace—The EX5000 uses several different line styles to convey special use and class airspaces. Class B is solid blue line, Class C is solid magenta line. Class D is dashed blue line, MOA, Warning, and Alert areas are solid yellow lines, and restricted and prohibited areas are solid red lines. See Table 12.7 Airspace and Airways Lines on page 137. 6) METAR Flags—For each reporting airport, when Datalink is installed and active, a METAR flag provides a quick overview of the weather for that station. The METAR flags are color-coded as follows: 7) Storm Cells—If storm cells are present, the EX5000 displays the cells along with the cell’s groundspeed, in knots, and direction of travel, and it shows the cell echo tops with a label. If there is a greater than 50% chance of hail, the cell displays with a white background. 8) Lightning Indications—If configured with a TWX670 or WX-500 sensor, shows geographically referenced lightning strikes. Lightning strikes from on-board sensors display for three minutes. Lightning display depends on the selected mode, as follows: ■ Datalink Mode—If Broadcast Datalink is installed and you have an appropriate broadcast datalink service level, shows ! 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. Map Page Symbols—Terrain and Position 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -15- Entegra EX5000 as color-coded lightning symbols. Datalink strikes darken in color until they are removed after 15 minutes. ■ TWX670 or WX-500 Strike Mode— ■ WX-500 Cell Mode— 9) 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. Map Page Entegra EX5000 -16- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 2.3 Map Page 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 2.3 Map Page Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan 1) 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). 6 2 5 4 1 3 Map Page Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -17- Entegra EX5000 2) Ownship Symbol—Shows the position of your aircraft in relation to the moving map and the selected view. 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 3.1 Traffic Symbols on page 24. 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: 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 display after you finish selecting the course and exit the OBS mode of the GPS. 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. Map Page Entegra EX5000 -18- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 5) Obstacles—The EX5000’s database contains towers and other obstacles greater than 200 feet AGL. Obstacles can be displayed with MSL altitude label. 6) 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: For example, a 2000 foot tall TV tower located in Denver (elevation 5300 feet MSL) will be depicted as being at 7300 feet MSL.

Loss of GPS Input Loss of primary GPS is annunciated in a number of ways on your EX5000. ● The “Nav Source not communicating” message displays. ● The aircraft symbol is removed. ● There is no heading information displayed (if GPS is lost, no heading is displayed regardless of heading source). ● The desired track icon is removed from the compass rose. ● 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. 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: ● The WX-500 Stormscope system (if installed and a heading source is connected to the WX-500). ● The Skywatch system (if installed and a heading source is connected to the TAS). ● A problem with heading from a Primary Flight Display (PFD). ● 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. Map Page Entegra EX5000 -20- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 If the track source also becomes unavailable or invalid, the following conditions will occur: ● All traffic and lightning data is removed from the display. ● The aircraft symbol is replaced by a direction-less symbol (a white + symbol). ● The compass labels (N,S, E, and W) are removed from the display. ● The map and flight plan data will continue to be displayed. ● The map orientation annunciation is removed from the display. ● The heading/track indicator will display a series of dashes (“---”). ● The map is oriented True North Up. What to do: ● Have the avionics wiring inspected. When heading/track is restored, Map will resume normal operations. Entegra EX5000 -21- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 3 Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page When a Traffic Advisory (TA) is reported from the traffic sensor, the EX5000 displays a traffic alert message in the Message Bar. 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. 3.1 The Dedicated Traffic Page The dedicated Traffic Page is a specially configured Map page with the following settings: ● View—Center, with heading (or track) up ● Range—5 NM ● Base Map—No terrain or political boundaries ● Declutter—No symbol or airspace depictions ● Lightning—Not displayed ● Flight Plan—Displayed ● Datalink Weather—Not 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”. Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page Entegra EX5000 -22- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 Up to 5 non-bearing intruders (traffic threats reported by the traffic sensor without valid bearing) are listed below the airplane symbol. Acknowledging the TA message from the Traffic mode removes it from the message bar, allowing other messages to be displayed. The TA message is automatically removed when the threat is reduced or the intruder is no longer present. Figure 3.1 Map Page—Traffic Mode 1) Exit Traffic—Restores the Map Page to the previous settings. If the Map Page is restored prior to acknowledging a TA, the message will remain displayed and acknowledging it will once again bring up the dedicated Traffic Page. Note: Traffic limitations and operational ranges depend on the traffic sensor installed. For TAS or TCAD sensors, see the corresponding sensor Pilot Guide. For TIS sensors, see Section 1-3-5 of the Aeronautical Information Manual. 1 The Dedicated Traffic Page 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -23- Entegra EX5000 The available Traffic button modes are listed below. For more information on specific traffic sensor modes, consult the user documentation for your traffic sensor. ● Avidyne TAS600 series (including 9900BX) and Skywatch— Traffic modes are ABOVE, NORMAL, UNLIMTD, BELOW, and DSPLY OFF. ● TIS—Traffic modes are DSPLY ON and DSPLY OFF. ● TCAD 9900B—Traffic modes are GROUND, TERMINAL, STANDARD, ENROUTE, UNLIMITED, APPROACH, and DSPLY OFF. Note that some TCAD installations will support automatic mode switching by the TCAD unit. The current mode is always reported on the EX5000 screen. Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page Entegra EX5000 -24- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 3.2 Traffic Symbols On the EX5000, aircraft traffic detected by a Traffic Sensor (referred to as intruders) are displayed as one of three symbols. 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. 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. Table 3.1 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 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -25- Entegra EX5000 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 3.1, 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.) 3.3 TIS Sensor Status For TIS installations, the following may be reported in the Traffic status block on the EX5000 Map Page: ● OPER—The TIS sensor is operating normally. ● 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. ● 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. ● UNAVAIL—More than 60 seconds have passed since valid data was received, or TIS data is not available at the current aircraft location. ● SBY—The TIS sensor is in standby mode. ● DATA FAIL—The TIS sensor has reported an internal fault. Traffic information will be removed from display. Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page Entegra EX5000 -26- 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 This page intentionally left blank.
