Curved Paths

When flying GPS approaches, the EX500’s large display clearly shows curved flight path segments when provided by the GPS, including DME arcs, Holding Patterns and Procedure Turns, overlaid with traffic, terrain, weather, airports and runway diagrams. And with Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Charts, the EX500 really takes the guess work out of shooting instrument approaches.

Ultra-Bright, High-Resolution Display

The EX500 features our industry-leading, high- resolution, active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AMLCD), providing you with the brightest, most versatile big-screen moving map available. With nearly three times as many pixels as previous-generation displays, and an incredibly wide viewing angle, the EX500 provides clear and concise navigation and weather information over an exceptional color-contoured terrain and water base map.

Trip Page

EX500 Trip Page

EX500The EX500's versatile Trip Page provides information about your route of flight including a list of all remaining waypoints in the active flightplan, with distances and times for each leg. Graphical METARs for all reporting airports are also listed, which can help you in determining an alternate airport in the event of inclement weather or an emergency situation. Textual METARs are also available for each reporting airport. The EX500 translates the METAR abbreviations into plain English for easy interpretation.

Terrain and Obstacles

EX500 Terrain and Obstacles

EX500With its complete terrain and water base map, and a North American database containing towers and other obstacles greater than 200’ AGL, the EX500 provides a clear presentation of terrain hazards. Obstacles can be displayed with MSL altitude labels, and Avidyne’s exclusive terrain scale shows the altitude of the highest terrain and obstacle height in the displayed area. The “nearest obstacle” feature makes it easy to determine the height and proximity of nearby towers as you descend into any unfamiliar areas. The EX500 also interfaces with the popular EGPWS/TAWS sensors for added safety, making it the most versatile multi-function display available.

TFRs

Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) areas are updated via datalink to provide the most up-to-date information about your flight environment. Having the complete picture gives you the ability to avoid hazardous weather conditions and stay clear of restricted airspaces, saving you time and fuel.
