SECTION 7 - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (continued)
B. MFD Systems Description (continued)
Navigation (continued)
Using the Jeppesen NavData data and the GPS-supplied present position, the
MFD can provide the pilot with the nearest 25 airports or navaids, depending
on pilot selection, within 100 nm. This information is presented on the
Nearest page.
More detailed information on a particular airport is also generated from the
Jeppesen NavData data and is available for pilot viewing on the Info page.
Flight plan data supplied by the GPS system provide the pilot with a tabular form
of the remaining legs in the active GPS flight plan. This information is viewed
on the Trip page and includes a CDI for added enroute navigation aiding.
Flight plan data is transmitted to the MFD from an external GPS navigator.
Some installations do not support depictions of curved flight paths. In these
cases, curved flight path segments will be depicted as straight lines. The GPS
navigator and HSI are to be used during approach procedures. Reference the
Avidyne FlightMax EX5000 Series Pilot's Guide, p/n 600-00105-000, for more
information.
Datalink
Datalink information is received by the MFD based upon installation provisions
and a subscription service available through Avidyne (www.myavidyne.com).
Data is presented on the Map, Trip, and Nearest pages. Datalink information is
provided for strategic planning purposes only. Data aging and transport
considerations make it unsuitable for tactical use. Reference the Avidyne
FlightMax EX5000 Series Pilot's Guide, p/n 600-00105-000, for more
information.
Setup
The various System Setup pages allow the pilot to set user preferences for
system operation. In addition to listing the software version identification
information and database validity dates, the System Setup page allows access
to several pages for preference selection and provides a means to initiate
self-tests of the traffic and lightning sensors.
