The indicator is marked for 1/2and full standard rate of turn. An arrowhead indicates a valuebeyond 1 1/2 standard rate. For more information, see Section"Using Trend Indicators" on page 33.3) Wind Vector—Displays the current wind speed and winddirection. The arrow indicates the direction of the wind relative tothe current aircraft heading.➥ After you turn, there will be a lag of several seconds inupdating current wind speed and direction.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -12- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


<strong>EXP5000</strong> System OverviewThe wind vector on the HSI is very useful in any phase of flightwhere you need to take winds aloft into account. You can use acombination of the wind vector and projected track line innavigation tasks.Note: Under very light wind conditions or when wind speed cannot becalculated, wind data will be replaced by dashes.4) Projected Track Line—The dashed gray projected track lineoriginates from the aircraft present position symbol andterminates at the triangle along the outer edge of the compassrose. It displays a projection of the current ground track of theaircraft.➥ To take the guesswork out of determining proper crab anglesfor wind corrections, align the projected track line with thedesired course.Note: In dual-PFD equipped aircraft, differences between the two windvectors during light winds are normal.5) Bearing Pointer—The blue dual-line bearing pointer isassociated with the Bearing source and displays the currentbearing to the Bearing waypoint (GPS 1 or GPS 2) or to thestation (VLOC 1 or VLOC 2). A bearing pointer does not display ifyou tune the VLOC source to an ILS or LOC station.6) Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)—The green single-line CDIdisplays deviation from the set or desired course.7) To-From Flag—The small green arrow indicates whether you areheading to or from the current VOR or GPS waypoint. If you areheading to the VOR, the arrow points the direction you are flying.If from, the arrow points towards your most recent VOR orwaypoint.8) HSI Moving Map—Displays up to a maximum of 15 waypointsand labels from the active flight plan. The active leg of the flightplan is depicted in magenta, and all other legs of the flight planare depicted in white. The moving map will also display waypointsand labels of an approach and hold.9) HSI Map Range—When the moving map is selected for displayon the HSI via the View knob, the outer and inner rings of thecompass rose are labeled with range in nautical miles. Outer ringranges are 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 NM.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -13- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD

Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>3.2 Starting the <strong>EXP5000</strong>The <strong>EXP5000</strong> includes a solid state Air Data and Attitude HeadingReference System (ADAHRS) which requires an alignment timebefore you are ready for flight.The <strong>EXP5000</strong> is designed to operate during engine start and shutdown procedures. <strong>EXP5000</strong> start-up is automatic once power isapplied via the battery switch.➥ A common startup procedure is to turn on BAT and conduct theaircraft preflight during the ADAHRS alignment process. ThePFD and the ADAHRS alignment process may restart whenyou start the engine.Approximately 10 seconds after turning on the <strong>EXP5000</strong>, the AHRSAlignment message box is displayed. In addition to AHRS Alignmentmessages, the box also displays the aircraft model, product name,and software part number. The informational messages automaticallytransition as described in Table 3.6 on page 24. When warm-up iscomplete, the message box is removed.Figure 7. Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> AHRS Alignment MessageTypical alignment time is 3 minutes but may take longer if the aircraftis subjected to motion. Air data (airspeed, altitude, vertical speed) willbecome valid prior to attitude data. Engine instruments are availableafter <strong>EXP5000</strong> start-up. The start-up message block displays a seriesof messages as shown in Table 3.6 on page 24, and is automaticallyremoved when warm-up is complete.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -23- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD

Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>3.4 Setting Up the HSIThe Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> can integrate with single or dual GNS 400/500-series GPS or GPS/VHF navigator systems. When your<strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD is installed, it is configured for the number and type ofnavigator systems on board.Use the Nav button (Primary Nav) to select the navigator source forthe green single-line CDI and the moving map data. The active flightplan from the selected navigator unit drives the moving map on theHSI and will display up to 15 waypoints, including the curvedapproach path and holding pattern segments.Note: Garmin 400W/500W-Series GPS or GPS/VHF navigator systems arecapable of flying a parallel offset track. Since the 400W/500W navigators donot provide the PFD with information to depict the parallel offset flight plancorrectly, the PFD does the following when the 400W/500W is navigating toa parallel offset track:1) The offset flight plan is not depicted;2) The original non-offset flight plan is depicted on the HSI with thenon-offset active leg shown in white as opposed to magenta,which it is for non-offset flight plans.3) The To waypoint indentifier is removed from the Nav/Bearing/Aux datablock.Note: The Garmin 430W is capable of redrawing holding patterns based ongroundspeed. However, the 400W/500W navigators do not always transmitthe correct information to external devices to allow them to draw holdingpatterns correctly. In these situations, the depiction of the holding patternon the PFD will not match that of the 400/500W. If this occurs, correctguidance is still provided on the CDI/HDI and also to the autopilot while inGPSS mode.GPS 1 is also the primary source for ground-speed readout and arequired element for the wind vector calculation and display. If GPS 1is unavailable, ground speed and wind vector data are derived fromGPS 2. If the Nav source is selected to a VOR or localizer source, the600-00104-001 Rev 04 -27- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Setting Up the HSIHSI will display the appropriate course deviation indicator. Themoving map from the associated GPS will still be displayed.For more information about the Wind Vector and the HSI moving mapdisplay, see Figure 4, EHSI Arc (120°) View, on page 14.Use the Bearing button to select the Nav source for the blue doublelinebearing pointer. If the selected bearing source is a Localizer, thebearing pointer does not display.To take full advantage of the <strong>EXP5000</strong>, GPS 2 can be loaded withDirect-To waypoints, alternative flight plans, or Navaid frequencies toprovide additional guidance beyond what is loaded into GPS 1. Thisinformation can be selected for display on the <strong>EXP5000</strong> as theBearing or Aux.While using the crossfill capability of dual-configured GPS systems isfully supported and a common technique, it can prevent you fromtaking full advantage of the multiple Nav source display capability ofthe <strong>EXP5000</strong>.For information about loading data into your GPS/VHF unit see thePilot’s Guide for your GPS/VHF system.Note: The CDI on the <strong>EXP5000</strong>’s HSI comes from the selected Nav sourcewhich may be different from the CDI displayed on the GPS 1 or GPS 2displays.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -28- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>3.5 Using GPS/VHF Systems with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>You can use the <strong>EXP5000</strong> to set a primary navigation course settingon the HSI when one of three conditions is met:● PFD Nav Source = GPS 1 or GPS 2 and the selected GPS/VHFsystem is in OBS mode.● PFD Nav Source = VLOC 1 or VLOC 2 and the currentfrequency is a VOR station.● PFD Nav Source = VLOC 1 or VLOC 2 and the currentfrequency is an ILS or localizer. In this case, you can set acourse for reference. The CDI is driven by the received localizersignal, regardless of the course set.The CDI scale on the <strong>EXP5000</strong>’s HSI is automatically set by theGPS/VHF system as a function of the Nav source you select with thePFD Nav button.Figure 9. Setting CDI Scale on <strong>EXP5000</strong>’s HSIThe source you select for Nav is coupled with the CDI button on theGPS/VHF unit, as follows:● When you toggle the Nav button on the <strong>EXP5000</strong> from GPS 1 toVLOC 1 and back, the CDI source on GPS 1 changes from GPSto VLOC and back to match the current Nav setting.● Similarly, when you toggle the CDI button on the GPS/VHF unitfrom GPS to VLOC and back, the Nav source on the <strong>EXP5000</strong>changes to match.➥ <strong>Avidyne</strong> recommends that you use the CDI button on GPS 1 totoggle the Nav source back and forth, especially for dual-GPSinstallations where the PFD Nav button cycles through all fourNav sources (GPS 1, VLOC 1, GPS 2, VLOC 2), and the CDIbutton on GPS 1 makes it easy to switch the <strong>EXP5000</strong>between GPS 1 and VLOC 1 and back.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -29- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Flying With the Autopilot3.6 Flying With the AutopilotYour Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong>s are integrated with the S-TEC System 1500Autopilot.Flight Director steering command bars are displayed whencommanded to do so by the autopilot. Control of the S-TEC 1500vertical modes and display of mode information is available via theautopilot faceplate.The following is a description of the S-TEC 1500 autopilot modessupported by the Entegra PFD. The autopilot may only be coupled tothe GPS/NAV selected as the PFD Nav source. The autopilot maynot be coupled to the GPS/NAV selected as the PFD Bearing source.S-TEC 1500 Horizontal Modes1) Heading Capture/Hold Mode—Press the Hdg Bug button on thePFD and rotate the right knob to set a desired heading. Press theHDG button on the autopilot control head to engage headingmode. The autopilot will track the input heading. The autopilotcontrol head will indicate “HDG”. Select a new heading at anytime while the autopilot is in heading mode and the autopilot willtrack the new heading bug value.Note: See the S-TEC 1500 faceplate for engaged mode annunciation.2) Nav/Apr Mode—Press the NAV button on the autopilot controlhead to engage Nav mode.■■■■If GPS (Nav=GPS 1 or GPS 2) is the selected nav source onthe PFD, the autopilot will track the active flight plan usingGPS roll steering and will display “NAV GPSS”.If VLOC (Nav=VLOC 1 or VLOC 2) is the selected nav sourceon the PFD, the autopilot tracks the active VOR or localizersignal.When a localizer is the active Nav source, the autopilot willautomatically transition to APR mode when the localizer iscaptured and will display “NAV APR”.Glideslope capture is supported when the autopilot is in NAVAPR and altitude hold (“ALT”) modes.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -30- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>Flight Director ModesThe Flight Director is a display of the flight profile commanded fromthe autopilot. Buttons on the S-TEC 1500 faceplate allow you toswitch the control of the autopilot modes between autopilot “AP”, andFlight Director “FD”. “FD” mode is a manual mode in which you areexpected to manually fly toward the command bars. When theautopilot is engaged in AP or FD mode, the Flight Director displays.The Flight Director command bars are limited to +/- 30° in roll and +/-15° in pitch with respect to the aircraft reference symbol.!S-TEC 1500 Autopilot Operation During PFD FailuresThe S-TEC 1500 requires a dual-PFD installation to operate.If either PFD fails, the autopilot cannot be engaged.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -31- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Precision Flying with <strong>EXP5000</strong>3.7 Precision Flying with <strong>EXP5000</strong>This section describes several techniques which take advantage ofthe <strong>EXP5000</strong>’s features to produce precision flight performance.Obtaining Level FlightYou can obtain level flight by placing the apex of the yellow deltashapedreference symbol a the pitch angle where the altitude trendvector is not displayed and the VSI reads zero (0). The pitch angle forlevel flight will vary with flight conditions, depending on speed,altitude and weight. There is no manual adjust capability (i.e. parallaxadjust).Flying a Constant Rate TurnThe proper technique for flying a constant rate turn involves using acombination of the turn indicator and the bank angle indicator. Figure10 shows a constant rate turn to the left.Figure 10. Flying a Constant Rate TurnInitiate the standard rate turn by banking to an initial bank angle of 20degrees with reference to the bank angle indicator, then adjust thebank angle to standard rate by reference to the standard rate turnindicator. Deviations from an intended bank angle are extremely easyto notice with the <strong>EXP5000</strong> ADI horizon line.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -32- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>Using Trend IndicatorsUse the trend indicators to capture and maintain a desired airspeedand altitude by adjusting the pitch and/or power to the airspeed oraltitude you want. This results in a smooth capture of the desiredairspeed and altitude.Figure 11. Trend Indicators1) Airspeed Trend Indicator—The tip of the blue airspeed trendindicator displays the predicted airspeed six seconds into thefuture at the current rate of change. The Airspeed Trend Indicatordisplays changes greater than 1.8 knots/sec. An arrowheadindicates a value beyond the current tape field of view.2) Excessive Pitch Chevrons—Large white chevrons display atpitch values greater than +50 degrees and less than -30 degrees.In all cases, the chevrons point towards the horizon line.3) Rate of Turn Indicator—The tip of the blue rate of turn indicatordisplays the current rate of turn. The indicator is marked for 1/2and full standard rate of turn. An arrowhead indicates a valuebeyond 1 1/2 standard rate.4) Altitude Trend Indicator—The tip of the blue altitude trendindicator displays the predicted altitude six seconds into thefuture at the current rate of change. An arrowhead indicates avalue beyond the current tape field of view.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -33- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Using the <strong>EXP5000</strong> for Approaches3.8 Using the <strong>EXP5000</strong> for ApproachesPrecision ApproachesFigure 12. Flying an ILS ApproachFlying an ILS ApproachThe <strong>EXP5000</strong> is designed to take full advantage of the auto transitioncapability of the Navigator systems for flying a GPS flight plan endingin an ILS approach. In this case, the horizontal deviation indicator(HDI) and vertical deviation indicator (VDI) windows are displayed onthe ADI.The CDI course is automatically set to the inbound localizer courseresulting in a hands-free transition.As long as you select a localizer or ILS via the <strong>EXP5000</strong> Nav button,the HDI and VDI will automatically display when applicable localizerand glideslope signals are received. No pilot action is required.<strong>Avidyne</strong> recommends that you set the inbound course using the<strong>EXP5000</strong> Course Set knob to serve as reference during the localizerintercept and tracking. This is automatic if the Navigator system hasbeen set to Autoslew. The CDI deflection will be driven by thelocalizer signal itself, regardless of the course setting.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -34- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>Flying a WAAS ApproachThe <strong>EXP5000</strong> is designed to take full advantage of the WAASapproach features provided in GNS-400W/500W series GPS or GPS/VHF navigators (Figure 13).Figure 13. Flying a WAAS ApproachWhen GPS is selected as the primary navigation source and theselected 400W/500W is providing guidance for a LPV, L/VNAV, andLNAV+V approach, the PFD provides horizontal and verticalguidance by means of the HDI and VDI.● For non-precision GPS approaches, the PFD will providehorizontal guidance by means of the HDI.● “GPS” will be annunciated next to the HDI to indicate that GPS isthe navigation source.● “TERM” or “APPR” will be annunciated next to the “GPS”annunciation to indicate when the navigator is in terminal orapproach mode, respectively.● A “GPS INTEG” annunciation is provided to the left of the HDI, ifthe 400W/500W has determined that satellite coverage isinsufficient for use of GPS as the primary navigation source. Ifthe GPS INTEG annunciation is displayed, VLOC should beselected as the navigation source.Refer to the 400W/500W pilot guide for more information.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -35- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Using the <strong>EXP5000</strong> for ApproachesFlying an Autopilot-Coupled WAAS ApproachTo perform an autopilot-coupled GPS WAAS approach, do thefollowing:●●●●Ensure that the nav source is set to GPS and that the selectednavigator has the approach loaded and activated.Autopilot should remain in GPSS mode until intercepting the finalapproach course (only GPSS mode will provide procedure turnand hold guidance).When the VDI is displayed, and the HDI annunciator is “GPSAPPR”, activate APR mode on the autopilot head. Provided thatALT mode is selected, and the airplane is within 50% scaledeflection on the HDI, GS mode and glide path capture capabilitywill be armed.As the glide path is approached, GS mode will become active tofollow the GPS generated glide path. This behavior is similar tothe glide slope function of an ILS approach.The autopilot will then track the horizontal and vertical guidanceprovided by the 400W/500W in the same way it would tracklocalizer and glideslope guidance. Refer to the autopilot’s user’sguide for Glideslope capture scenarios.Flying an Autopilot-Coupled ApproachTo perform an autopilot-coupled approach, ensure the approach hasbeen activated in the Navigator selected as the Nav source. Then:●●Press NAV on the autopilot control head to activate Nav mode.Press the APR button on the Autopilot control head to activatethe Glideslope capture capability.The autopilot will then track the Glidescope and localizer. Refer tothe autopilot user’s guide for Glideslope capture scenarios.<strong>Avidyne</strong> recommends that you set the Altitude Bug to the publishedapproach decision altitude to serve as a visual reference during theapproach.Note: For maximum situational awareness during all types of precision andnon-precision instrument approaches, always select and activate theapproach in the Navigator. This will enable the <strong>EXP5000</strong> to display theapproach waypoints on its moving map.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -36- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Flying with the <strong>EXP5000</strong>Note: Upon reaching the Final Approach Fix (FAF), ensure that the correctbaro setting is entered in both the <strong>EXP5000</strong> and standby altimeter. Alsoverify that the <strong>EXP5000</strong> and standby altimeter indicate the same altitude.Non-Precision ApproachesThe <strong>EXP5000</strong> is also designed to aid in the flying of non-precisionapproaches. Once the published approach has been activated in theNavigator system, the inbound course on the <strong>EXP5000</strong> will beautomatically set to match the inbound course of the publishedapproach.Flying an Autopilot-Coupled Non-Precision ApproachA recommended technique when performing an autopilot-couplednon-precision approach is:1) Select the HDG, NAV and ALT buttons on the autopilot while stilloutside the Final Approach Fix (FAF).2) Prior to reaching the FAF, if present, set the desired VS descentrate:■ Use the <strong>EXP5000</strong> HDG Bug to set the desired heading forclimbout/missed approach.■ Use the <strong>EXP5000</strong> Alt Bug to set the desired intermediatelevel off altitude or the minimum descent altitude (MDA) as avisual reminder.3) After crossing the FAF, select VS mode on the autopilot.4) Just prior to reaching MDA, select ALT on the autopilot tocommand altitude hold.Flying a Back Course Localizer ApproachThe <strong>EXP5000</strong> is designed to fully support flying back course localizerapproaches. To perform a back course localizer approach, ensure thefront course value is set via the <strong>EXP5000</strong> Course Set knob. As soonas the <strong>EXP5000</strong> determines that it is established on the back courselocalizer, the HDI source label indicates “LOC BCRS” and both theHDI and CDI display correct sensing.

This allows you to easily cross-check attitude,heading, and air data.In the case of an ADAHRS failure, set the switch to display the ADAHRS onthe remaining operating PFD.If the ADAHRS that is not selected fordisplay fails, is in alignment, or is in fasterect, a yellow message box describingthe condition displays in the lower rightcorner of the HSI.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -50- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Synchronized and Non-synchronized Controls5.2 Synchronized and Non-synchronized ControlsFigure 24. Dual PFDs – Synchronized ControlsWhen equipped with dual PFDs, some controls are synchronizedbetween the two PFDs to reduce confusion and improve situationalawareness. For these controls, adjusting any of the settings on onePFD also changes the other PFD.However, to provide maximum flexibility for the navigational needs oftwo crew members, other controls are not synchronized. Table 5.9lists the main PFD controls and whether or not they are synchronized:Table 5.9 Dual PFD Synchronized ControlsSynchronizedNot SynchronizedPrimary Nav Source selection Bearing Nav SourceCourse setting (if supported by Aux Nav Sourceselected Nav source and mode)Hdg BugHSI viewsAlt BugBaro SettingEntegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -51- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Using Dual PFDsNote: While the bugs that control the autopilot can be set by either PFD, theautopilot uses only the Pilot PFD heading to measure its deviation. If theCopilot PFD heading differs from the Pilot PFD, the Copilot PFD may showa mismatch between the heading bug and the autopilot-controlled heading.600-00104-001 Rev 04 -52- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Pilot Priority Switch5.3 Pilot Priority SwitchOn dual-PFD equipped aircraft, the Pilot Priority switch mounted inthe flightdeck instrument panel allows you to inhibit the controls onthe Copilot PFD when a non-pilot is in the right-hand seat. See youraircraft Pilot’s Operating Handbook to locate the Pilot Priority switch.Figure 25. Uncoupled Copilot PFDThe Pilot Priority can be set as follows:● Uncoupled—The Nav, Hdg Bug, Alt Bug, and Baro Set buttonsare removed from the Copilot PFD, as shown in Figure 25. Thesesettings are controlled only from the Pilot PFD. The copilot cansee them on their PFD, but cannot make changes.Uncoupling the PFDs can be especially important when using theAutopilot in a mode where Bugs are controlling the aircraft.Uncoupling the copilot PFD prevents the passenger (a child, forexample) from accidentally changing the flight path.● Coupled—Button labels are restored, which reinstates copilotcontrol for the Nav, Hdg Bug, Alt Bug, and Baro Set parametersas described in Section 5.2, "Synchronized and NonsynchronizedControls" on page 51.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -53- 600-00104-001 Rev 04


Using Dual PFDs5.4 Dual PFD Error ConditionsADAHRS MiscomparesIn dual-PFD equipped aircraft, the two PFDs compare their ADAHRSmeasurements for fault detection. If airdata, attitude, or headingmiscompare occurs, both PFD's will display the appropriate warningmessage adjacent to the affected instrument.Figure 26. ADAHRS Alert MessagesNotes: The ADAHRS miscompare messages are suppressed if:• One of the ADAHRS has failed, is in alignment, or is in fast erect.• The ADAHRS source selection switch is set to ADAHRS1 or ADAHRS2.• A PFD-to-PFD communication failure has occurred.PFD-to-PFD Communication FaultIf, at any point, one PFD loses contact with theother, a yellow error message will appear at thelower right corner of the HSI reading “No COMwith Pilot PFD” or “No COM with Copilot PFD.”600-00104-001 Rev 04 -54- Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD


Dual PFD Error ConditionsIf you see the “No COM with Copilot PFD” error, a communicationfailure has occurred and the following dual PFD functions are nolonger available:●●●ADAHRS Source SelectionSynchronize ControlsADAHRS Comparison Monitoring.Vertical Modes with S-TEC 55X AutopilotThe vertical modes of the S-TEC 55X Autopilot (Alt Hold, Alt Capture,VS Mode, and so on) are wired to the pilot PFD only. If the copilotaltimeter or VSI differs from the pilot, the copilot PFD may display amismatch between the bugs and the autopilot controlled altitude orvertical speed.Entegra <strong>EXP5000</strong> PFD -55- 600-00104-001 Rev 04
