Entegra EX5000 -1- 600-00105-000 Rev 07
1 Introduction
The Entegra EX5000 Multi-Function Display (MFD) provides a
moving map view of your flight plan, XM 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.
●Lightning information display from a WX-500 lightning sensor, if
installed.
●Full ARINC-429 databus capability, allowing the EX5000 to
display curved flight paths, procedure turns, and holding patterns
from a compatible GPS navigator.
●Traffic information display from Avidyne TAS600 Series, L-3
Skywatch, or Garmin TIS traffic systems.
●Terminal procedure chart display using the CMax™ function.
●Display of weather and flight restriction information when
interfaced with an external Broadcast Datalink receiver or internal
Narrowcast Datalink receiver.
●Display of TAWS terrain information when interfaced with an
installed EGPWS system.
Note: Consult the Flight Manual Supplement (FMS) provided with the
aircraft and/or sensors prior to operation. The FMS contains information
specific to your installation and may contain operating limitations applicable
to your aircraft configuration.

Introduction
Entegra EX5000 -2- 600-00105-000 Rev 07
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 displays.
Figure 1.1 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.
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●If CMax is more than 10 weeks out of date, access to the charts is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.

600-00105-000 Rev 07 -3- Entegra EX5000
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 11.1, "Updating Your Databases" on page 133.

1.1 About this Guide
This guide assumes that all available sensors and software options
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 screenshots 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
display.

Notes and Warnings
600-00105-000 Rev 07 -5- Entegra EX5000
1.2 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) or 1-781-402-7400 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
8.1, "Aux Main Page" on page 62 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.

Introduction
Entegra EX5000 -6- 600-00105-000 Rev 07
!
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.

Notes and Warnings
600-00105-000 Rev 07 -7- Entegra EX5000
!
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 1-800-
WXBRIEF (992-7433) for the latest information. Outside the
United States, call your local flight service or other official flight
advisory service.
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 information
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.
