1 Introduction The Entegra EX5000 Multi-Function Display (MFD) provides a moving map view of your flight plan, broadcast datalink weather, lightning, traffic, navigation data, obstacles, terrain, and CMax™ approach plates with an intuitive user interface. The EX5000 offers the following standard and optional features: ● Engine instruments display. ● Normal and Emergency Checklist display. ● Lightning information display from a WX-500 or Avidyne TWX670 lightning sensor, if installed.
Using the Entegra EX5000 MFD 1.1 Using the Entegra EX5000 MFD The controls on the bezel of the Entegra EX5000 are placed to allow you quick and intuitive access to the information you need, when you need it (see Figure 1.1). 2 1 3 4 4 6 5 7 8 Figure 1.1 Entegra EX5000 MFD 1) PhotoCell Light Sensor—Automatically compensates display brightness for varying lighting conditions. 2) Brightness Control—Allows you to override the default display brightness and adjust the brightness level.
Introduction 3) Data Port—Provides a front panel access point for loading database updates. Note: When removing the rubber cap from the data port, pull the cap gently from the top until it pops out. Make sure the cap is out of the way (but not removed) before plugging anything into the USB port. Do not tug on the tab at the bottom of the cap; this can cause the loss of the protective cap. 4) Buttons—Used to select modes or change the display as indicated.
Power Up 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. When the EX5000 is ready the message, “Press any bezel key to continue”, is displayed. Figure 1.2 EX5000 Startup Page The EX5000 Startup Page reports the valid dates for the currently loaded CMax™ and NavData.
Introduction For NavData, the date range displays if the data is valid; if it is not valid, the word “EXPIRED” and the expiration data display in yellow. For more information about updating CMax and NavData, see Section 13.1, "Updating Your Databases" on page 100. Note: When you press a bezel key from the Startup Page, either the Initial Fuel Page or a series of three Cirrus-defined Safety Pages display (For aircraft with EMax™, the Initial Fuel Page displays first) .
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.
Map Page 2.1 Map Page—Controls Buttons on the left side of the bezel provide access to sensor modes and pages. Buttons on the right side of the bezel access the mapping functions, and control how the Map is viewed. 1 2 3 Figure 2.1 Map Page Controls Note: For information about the Map Symbols, see Section 13.7, "Map Symbols" on page 114. 1) Sensor Functions—Control overlay and modes of available sensors.
Map Page—Controls 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.
Map Page ■ ■ 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.
Map Page—Controls 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).
Map Page 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. Note: For details about the Map Symbols, see Section 13.7, "Map Symbols" on page 114. 2 1 1 4 3 5 6 8 9 7 10 Figure 2.
Map Page Symbols—Terrain and Position Table 2.1 Track Indicator Graphics Heading Track Map Orientation Heading Desired Track North Up Track Heading Heading Up Actual Track Track Up 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 13.
Map Page 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 displayed when your aircraft’s latitude is greater than 75 degrees (north or south). ! The displayed terrain and obstacle indicators are only advisory.
Map Page Symbols—Terrain and Position ■ WX-500 Cell 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.
Map Page 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. 1 3 2 4 5 Figure 2.3 Map Page Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan 1) Ownship Symbol—Shows the position of your aircraft in relation to the moving map and the selected view.
Map Page Symbols—Runways and Flight Plan 4) 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: The Garmin 430W can use parallel track. If the parallel track is active, the current leg will be displayed in white.
Map Page Table 2.2 Obstacle Graphics Graphic Meaning Height (AGL) Single Obstacle 200’ AGL to < 1000’ AGL Obstacles within 1NM of each other 200’ AGL to < 1000’ AGL Single Obstacle 1000’ AGL or higher Obstacles within 1NM of each other 1000’ AGL or higher 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.
Errors Displayed on the Map 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: ● 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).
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. ! 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.
The Dedicated Traffic Page 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. 1 Figure 3.1 Map Page—Traffic Mode 1) Exit Traffic—Restores the Map Page to the previous settings.
Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page ● 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. ● TIS—Traffic modes are DSPLY ON and DSPLY OFF.
Traffic Symbols 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. The traffic symbols are: Table 3.
Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page 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 system. If the intruder altitude and vertical speed are known, they are displayed alongside the intruder symbol.
4 TAWS Page (Optional) If your EX5000 system has been configured with a Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), turn the Page knob to “TAWS” to view the TAWS Page. ! Any display of yellow or red on the TAWS page indicates an imminent terrain or obstacle hazard. ! The TAWS display on the EX5000 is an optional component of any TAWS-B installation, and is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
TAWS Page (Optional) 1) Range Annunciation—The range number indicates the currently selected range as selected by the Range knob. The supported ranges are 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 240, and 320 nm. At start up, the EX5000 TAWS range defaults to 80nm. 2) Display Orientation—This annunciation describes the orientation of the TAWS display. If heading is available to the EGPWS, the TAWS display orientation is “heading up”, with the aircraft's heading to the top of the display.
TAWS Information 5) Range Rings—Range rings are shown as solid white lines. The distance to the outer ring is shown in the Range annunciation. The inner ring is one half the range of the outer ring. 6) Terrain Data—Terrain data is depicted as color areas representing various elevations relative to your aircraft and potential hazard situations. 7) Azimuth Lines—When pressed, labeled azimuth lines appear every 20 degrees. Press it again to remove the azimuth lines.
TAWS Page (Optional) 4.2 TAWS Operation Terrain and obstacle alerts are the most critical situations displayed by TAWS. There are two levels of alerts: ● Caution—Possible terrain or obstacle conflict within 40-60 seconds. ● Warning—Possible terrain or obstacle conflict within 30 seconds. Note: At the maximum range settings of 240nm and 320nm, terrain data for portions of the display beyond 320 nm may not be available.
TAWS Operation When a warning alert is triggered, the terrain or obstacle that caused the alert displays in bright red. In addition, a message describing the nature of the alert is presented in the message bar. Figure 4.3 Terrain Warning Condition When a caution or warning alert is active, the display image surrounding the target is enlarged somewhat to allow the terrain or obstacle to be better seen on the display. See Table 13.10 TAWS Messages on page 119 for a complete listing of TAWS messages.
TAWS Page (Optional) 4.3 TAWS Reference 4.3.1 Auto-Range If the EGPWS has been installed with the “auto range” option selected, the terrain display range is automatically set to 10nm whenever a terrain or obstacle alert takes place, overriding the current range selection. To remind you that the range has been automatically changed, the text “Auto” is added in the range annunciation. Manual range control is not disabled by auto-range. You can reset the range to any desired value. 4.3.
TAWS Reference Table 4.1 EGPWS Display Color Formats Color Meaning Solid Red Terrain/Obstacle threat area, a warning is generated. Solid Yellow Terrain/Obstacle threat area, a caution is generated. 50% Red Dots Terrain/Obstacle that is more than 2,000 feet above aircraft. 50% Yellow Dots Terrain/Obstacle that is between 1,000 and 2,000 feet above aircraft. 25% Yellow Dots Terrain/Obstacle that is 500 (250 with gear down) feet below to 1,000 feet above aircraft altitude.
5 Trip Page The Trip Page is continuously updated during flight. The distance and the time values are updated with each new positive fix from the GPS. The route legs advance with each waypoint message. Turn the Page knob to bring up the Trip Page, which shows the remaining legs in the current flight plan and other data being received by the EX5000 from the GPS. If the entire flight plan does not fit on the screen, an ellipsis (...) displays in the next to last line. The destination line is always displayed.
Trip Page Information 2) Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)—Shows lateral distance (Crosstrack deviation) from desired course, providing continuous navigation reference when viewing the Trip Page. 3) Time—Local and UTC time in HH:MM:SS using a 24-hour clock format. 4) Flight Plan Waypoints—Flight Plan information from your GPS. Active waypoint is shown in magenta. ■ For Flight Plan waypoints, the following data displays: ◆ WPT—Waypoint identifier as received from the GPS.
Trip Page Intermediate waypoints are determined by your current flight plan. The EX5000 adds intermediate waypoints along your flight path to provide weather information between flight plan waypoints for longer flight plan legs. This can provide you with a fuller picture of enroute conditions. 5) METAR Symbol—A METAR report is shown for each flightplan waypoint that uses the same METAR condition symbols as described in Section 2.2, "Map Page Symbols—Terrain and Position" on page 11.
Trip Page Information on the Aux Main Page and in the message bar. For example, if 91 minutes has elapsed since the last TAF data was received, a "Broadcast TAFs > 90 min" message will display in the message bar and in the message list on the Aux page. When these messages are displayed, all data for that product is removed from the MFD.
Trip Page ■ TAFs—The EX5000 provides text Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) from the National Weather Service via Broadcast Datalink, if available. TAFs are not decoded. Note: Winds Aloft and TAFs are only available with certain broadcast packages. See the broadcast datalink documentation for more information. 9) Chart—If CMax approach charts are installed and available, provides a quick jump to the Chart Page with the highlighted airport pre-selected.
Trip Page Information 10) Select Knob—Use the right knob to move the cursor over the desired waypoint in the flight plan, which selects the plain-text METAR to be displayed along the bottom half of the screen. ! Garmin GNS400/500-series users: When the EX5000 is interfaced to a Garmin GNS400/500-series GPS via RS-232, the GPS may send duplicate waypoints while in approach mode. These duplicate waypoints may affect the distance and time readings on the Trip Page.
6 Nearest Page (NRST) The Nearest Page displays the nearest airports within 100NM of your present position or the nearest airports to your destination. Through the buttons, you can access detailed information about each airport. The buttons also allow you to view the nearest VORs, NDBs, Intersections, and Obstacles. 6.1 Nearest Page 1 3 4 2 5 6 7 Figure 6.

CMax Selection Page In the unlikely event of data corruption during operations, the EX5000 may exhibit one of the following symptoms: • EX5000 reports that no chart data is available at all. ! • Chart page is not accessible. • Expected airports are not available for chart selection. If you observe any of these, reload the CMax chart data using the CMax Dataloader, described in the Avidyne Data Update Guide or in the Jeppesen JeppView for MFD Quick Start Guide.
9 Engine Page The Engine Page displays the health and performance status of the aircraft engine. Most of the engine indications are transmitted to the EX5000 via a remotely mounted Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) or Sensor Interface Unit (SIU) while the remainder are calculated by the Entegra EX5000 or acquired from the Entegra Primary Flight Display (PFD). The information displayed on your Engine Page depends on: ● Your aircraft type and whether your aircraft is equipped with a DAU or an SIU.
Cirrus Engine Page In the event of an engine Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) failure, affected indicators will show a failure as follows: • Numeric Readouts: Displayed as three white dashes • Bar Graphs: Disappear ! • Needles: Disappear What to do: For failure of single indicators, land as soon as practical and consult an Avidyne Authorized Entegra Service Center. If all indicators fail, check and/or cycle the circuit breaker for the engine DAU.
Engine Page 1) Engine Gauges—Provides readouts of engine function: ■ RPM—Displays current engine speed in revolutions per minute as reported by the DAU. ■ Manifold Pressure—Indicates the current engine intake manifold pressure reported by the DAU. ■ % Power—Indicates the calculated percent of maximum rated power currently being produced by the engine. For SIUequipped aircraft, Percent Power is calculated by the EX5000 based on engine RPM, manifold pressure, outside air temperature, and fuel flow.
