About this Guide
This guide assumes that all available sensors and softw ar e op tio ns
have been installed in your airplane. The page layouts and button
descriptions in this guide may differ slightly from what you observe on
your EX5000. If your system is configured with a partial set of the
available sensors, then some views may differ from this guide.
Note: All images contained within this document, including scree nshots and
other displays, are for reference use only and are subject to change. The
images contained herein may differ slightly from your actual equipment or

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:
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
!
The instructions and warnings in this manual are not int en ded 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.

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

provide accurate display of Datalink weather. See Section
8.1, "Aux Main Page" on page 61 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.
!
!
!
!
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.
!
Notice regarding NOTAM information
NOTAM information is subject to constant change and it is
extremely important that all pilots check with Flight Service for
applicable NOTAMs prior to EVERY flight. Call 1-800WXBRIEF (992-7433) for the latest information.
The NOTAM information provided by the EX5000 is for
planning purposes only. Always consult official NOTAMS for
the latest restrictions.
Avidyne does not provide a complete list of NOTAMS. Local
NOTAMS, most laser light NOTAMS, and any NOTAMS other
than restricted airspace are not listed.
By using the Avidyne Services you are able to access
information made available from a variety of sources. Avidyne
does not control, edit or review the content of such info rmation
and is not responsible for such information or the actions or
conduct of any company that provides sources of weather
data procured by Avidyne. Therefore, although Avidyne uses
diligent efforts to provide Services of high quality, ALL
SERVICES AND WEATHER DATA ARE PROVIDED AS-IS
and neither Avidyne nor its suppliers (including ORBCOMM
and its affiliates), subcontractors, information sources or
developers (collectively called “Suppliers”) are responsible for:
1) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, content,
or availability of the Services or any information accessed; 2)
loss or damage to your records or data; or 3) your use of, or
results achieved from, the Services or any information
accessed.

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.
Note: (For WX-500 only.) The lightning sensor maps thunderstorm activity
by monitoring electrical discharge activity within a 200-mile radius of the
aircraft. If the display range is set to less than 25NM, only lightning strikes
within 25NM are shown. If the display range is set to greater than 25NM, all
lightning strikes are shown.
■ 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.
■ WX Rprts—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
11.2, "Map Page with Datalink Weather" on page 88.
■ Emerg. Checklist—Opens the Emergency Checklist Page.
For more information, see Section 7.4, "Emergency
Checklists" on page 44.
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—Displays only when Broadcast Datalink is
installed. Controls the type of weather information displayed
on the map. Press WX Ovly to toggle 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 are not displayed.
◆ —The (+) plus option shows 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.

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.

5) 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
highest displayed terrain. Terrain data is not di splayed when your
aircraft’s latitude is greater than 75 degrees (north or south).
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
!
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:

information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts
for appropriate terrain and obstacle information.
8) Lightning Indications—If configured with WX-500 or TWX-670
sensor, shows geographically referenced lightning strikes.
Lightning strikes from onboard 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
as color-coded lightning symbols. Datalink strikes darken in
color until they are removed after 15 minutes.
■ WX-500 or TWX-670 Strike Mode—

9) 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
13.7 Airspace and Airways Lines on page 116.
10) 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.
