■±90° is represented by small circles.
■Large chevrons, described in Section 3.7 Precision Flying
with EXP5000, are only visible at excessive pitch angles and
point toward the horizon (above +50° and below -30°).
7) Aircraft Reference Symbol (ARS)—The ARS is fixed on the
display and provides a reference from which you can determine
aircraft attitude. The EXP5000 can be configured as one of two
different symbols:
■Yellow Delta—The Delta
ARS displays in aircraft
for which Flight Director
is supported. The yellow
outriggers are used with the ARS symbol to provide a
reference for wings level flight.
■Flying W—The flying W displays in
aircraft for which Flight Director is
not supported.
8) Flight Director Steering Command Bars—Displays the
accuracy of the pilot or autopilot tracking the autopilot
commands. The pilot or autopilot is to steer the airplane toward
the command bars until the ARS is tucked into the steering
command bars. For more information about Flight Director, see
the appropriate autopilot section:
■Using the S-TEC 55X Autopilot with the EXP5000, page 33.

■The localizer signal has been received.
Or (if used with Garmin 400W/500W navigator)
■The Nav source is GPS
■GPS horizontal deviation data has been received
The source of the HDI data is displayed immediately to the right
of the HDI (e.g., LOC, ILS or GPS). If the localizer signal is lost,
the HDI is replaced with a red X and the source letters turn red. If
GPS data is lost, the HDI is removed from the display.
To remove the HDI, change either the NAV source or the VOR/
LOC frequency.
10) Altitude Tape—Displays baro-corrected altitude. The display
range is either:
■-1,000 feet to 35,000 feet if using air data from the internal
ADAHRS, or
■-1,000 feet to 53,000 feet if using air data from an external
source.
The box at the top of the tape displays the current value of the Alt
Bug. In general, each minor graduation represents 20 feet and
each 100 foot graduation is labeled. For higher power aircraft,
each minor graduation represents 100 feet and each 500 foot
graduation is labeled. These settings are set by the installer and
may differ for your aircraft.
11) Altitude Window—Displays the current baro-corrected altitude.
12) Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI)—Displays when:
■The Nav source is VLOC
■The ILS Glidescope signal has been received
■The VDI is not displayed for back course localizer
approaches
Or (if used with Garmin 400W/500W navigator)
■The Nav source is GPS
■GPS vertical deviation data has been received
To remove the VDI display, change either the NAV Source or the
localizer frequency.

600-00157-000 Rev. 06 -9- Entegra EXP5000 PFD
13) Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)—Displays the vertical speed in
Feet per Minute (fpm). The VSI generally shows ±2,000 fpm VSI
scale. Scale graduations display every 100 fpm between ±1,000
fpm. For higher power aircraft, the VSI shows ±3,000 fpm VSI
scale. Scale graduations display every 200 fpm between ±2,000
fpm. These settings are set by the installer and may differ for your
aircraft.
When vertical speed is above scale limits, a digital readout of the
current vertical speed is displayed on the appropriate end of the
VSI scale. The maximum displayed value of the digital readout is
either:
■±4,000 fpm if using air data from the internal ADAHRS, or
■±10,000 fpm if using air data from an external source.
14) Radar Altimeter Indicator—If your aircraft is equipped with a
radar altimeter, the Radar Altimeter indicator displays the current
altitude above ground level (up to 2500 ft. AGL) and the currently-
set decision height. Set the decision height for the radar altimeter
using the DH Alert button, described in Right Buttons and Knob,
on page 19.
EXP5000 Display Options
The following display options are set during installation:
Horizon Heading Reference Marks
Horizon Heading Reference Marks provide heading information on
the ADI. If Horizon Heading Reference Marks are installed on your
EXP5000, the marks and labels appear at each quadrant (N, E, S, W)
and mid-quadrant (NE, SE, SW, NW). The reference pointer for the
Heading Marks is the apex of the ARS.

EXP5000 Upper Half Display
Entegra EXP5000 PFD -10- 600-00157-000 Rev. 06
Labeled VSpeeds
Vx and VY labels are shown at the correct airspeeds for the Best
Angle of Climb speed (VX) and Best Rate of Climb speed (VY). VX
and VY are adjusted based on density altitude, as described in the
Airspeeds for Normal Operations section of your aircraft Pilot
Operating Handbook. Additionally, the VG label displays at the Best
Glide airspeed as listed in the Airspeeds for Emergency Operations
section of your aircraft POH.
At some altitudes, the characters marking the VSpeeds may overlap
and may be partially obscured.
Barometer Units
Barometer units can be displayed in In-Hg (Inches of mercury [default]), Mb
(Millibars), or hPa (Hectopascals). The average sea-level pressure is
29.92 in-hg or 1013.25 mb or hPa.
Aircraft Reference Symbol
Delta or Flying W. See the discussion of the Aircraft Reference
Symbol in Section 2.2, "EXP5000 Upper Half Display" on page 5 for
more information.
Note: If your aircraft POH lists Best Glide airspeeds for multiple gross
weights, VG is displayed as a range between the highest and lowest Best
Glide airspeed. Make sure you consult the POH for the correct Best Glide
airspeed for a particular gross weight.
Note: The VSpeeds for your aircraft were entered by the installer. There is
a small chance that, due to installer error, the VSpeed configuration will not
be valid. In this case, an Invalid VSpeeds message displays on the
Airspeed Tape. If this message displays, do not use the VSpeed information
on the PFD, and contact your installer as soon as practical.
Note: VX and VY speeds depend on settings made during installation.
Depending on your aircraft and installation settings, the VX and VY speeds
may not vary with density altitude.

3) Wind Vector—Displays the current wind speed and wind
direction. The arrow indicates the direction of the wind relative to
the current aircraft heading.
➥After you turn, there will be a lag of several seconds in
updating current wind speed and direction.
The wind vector on the HSI is very useful in any phase of flight
where you need to take winds aloft into account. You can use a
combination of the wind vector and projected track line in
navigation tasks.
4) HSI—The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) can be viewed as
either a full 360° circle or as a 120° arc. The EHSI views are
shown in Figure 4:
Figure 4. EHSI Views
5) Projected Track Line—The dashed gray projected track line
originates from the aircraft present position symbol and
terminates at the triangle along the outer edge of the compass
rose. It displays a projection of the current ground track of the
aircraft.
Note: Under very light wind conditions or when wind speed cannot be
calculated, wind data will be replaced by dashes.

➥To take the guesswork out of determining proper crab angles
for wind corrections, align the projected track line with the
desired course.
6) Bearing Pointer—The blue dual-line bearing pointer is
associated with the Bearing source and displays the current
bearing to the Bearing waypoint (GPS 1 or GPS 2) or to the
station (VLOC 1 or VLOC 2). A bearing pointer does not display if
you tune the VLOC source to an ILS or LOC station.
7) Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)—The green single-line CDI
displays deviation from the set or desired course.
8) To-From Flag—The small green arrow indicates whether you are
heading to or from the current VOR or GPS waypoint. If you are
heading to the VOR, the arrow points the direction you are flying.
If from, the arrow points towards your most recent VOR or
waypoint.
9) HSI Moving Map—Displays up to a maximum of 15 waypoints
and labels from the active flight plan. The active leg of the flight
plan is depicted in magenta, and all other legs of the flight plan
are depicted in white. The moving map will also display waypoints
and labels of an approach and hold.
10) HSI Map Range—When the moving map is selected for display
on the HSI via the View knob, the outer and inner rings of the
compass rose are labeled with range in nautical miles. Outer ring
ranges are 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 NM.
11) Compass Rose—In both the 360° view and 120° arc view, the
minor graduation marks represent 5 degrees, major graduation
marks represent 10 degrees, with every 30 degrees labeled. The
outer edge of the compass rose is marked with reference marks.
12) Air Data Block—This data block is configurable and may
contain:
■True Airspeed (TAS) in knots
■Ground Speed (GS) in knots
■OAT (Outside Air Temperature) in degrees F or C as
configured
Note: In dual-PFD equipped aircraft, differences between the two wind
vectors during light winds are normal.
