3 Flying with the EXP5000 3.1 Introduction This chapter contains all the basic information you need to use the EXP5000.
Starting the EXP5000 3.2 Starting the EXP5000 The EXP5000 includes a solid state Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) which requires an alignment time before you are ready for flight. The EXP5000 is designed to operate during engine start and shut down procedures. EXP5000 start-up is automatic once power is applied via the battery switch. ➥ A common startup procedure is to turn on BAT and conduct the aircraft preflight during the ADAHRS alignment process.
Flying with the EXP5000 EXP5000 Alignment Messages Note: For faster alignments (3 minutes or less), Avidyne recommends that you do not move the aircraft until alignment is complete. The OK TO TAXI message provides increased flexibility during ground operations, but it may extend overall alignment time. Table 3.
Starting the EXP5000 AHRS Alignment Errors While alignment and startup should proceed smoothly, in the case of error, you may see one of the following messages in the AHRS Init box: Table 3.7 AHRS Alignment Errors Message Recommended Pilot Action UNABLE TO COMPLETE ALIGNMENT Stop aircraft as soon as practical and wait for alignment to resume. MOTION SENSED - STOP AIRCRAFT Alignment Should Resume Within 2 Mins. UNABLE TO COMPLETE ALIGNMENT Move Aircraft to different location and begin startup operations.
Flying with the EXP5000 3.3 Startup Settings Figure 8.
Setting Up the HSI 3.4 Setting Up the HSI The Entegra EXP5000 can integrate with single or dual GNS 400/ 500-series GPS or GPS/VHF navigator systems. When your EXP5000 PFD is installed, it is configured for the number and type of navigator systems on board. Use the Nav button (Primary Nav) to select the navigator source for the green single-line CDI and the moving map data.
Flying with the EXP5000 For information about loading data into your GPS/VHF unit see the Pilot’s Guide for your GPS/VHF system. Note: The CDI on the EXP5000’s HSI comes from the selected Nav source which may be different from the CDI displayed on the GPS 1 or GPS 2 displays.
Using GPS/VHF Systems with the EXP5000 3.5 Using GPS/VHF Systems with the EXP5000 You can use the EXP5000 to set a primary navigation course setting on the HSI when one of three conditions is met: ● PFD Nav Source = GPS 1 or GPS 2 and the selected GPS/VHF system is in OBS mode. ● PFD Nav Source = VLOC 1 or VLOC 2 and the current frequency is a VOR station. ● PFD Nav Source = VLOC 1 or VLOC 2 and the current frequency is an ILS or localizer. In this case, you can set a course for reference.
Flying with the EXP5000 3.6 Controlling the Autopilot Your Entegra EXP5000 is integrated with the S-TEC Fifty Five X (55X) or S-TEC 55SR Autopilot. When you select an active autopilot mode, full guidance is provided from the EXP5000 to the autopilot, including heading captures and, for the S-TEC 55X only, smooth transitions to altitude. The status of the reference Bugs, autopilot annunciations, and Flight Director steering command bars indicate when the EXP5000 is coupled with the autopilot.
Controlling the Autopilot will become solid magenta and the autopilot will track the input heading. The autopilot control head and the EXP5000 will indicate “HDG”. The Heading Bug will remain solid magenta until heading mode is cancelled. Select a new heading at any time while the autopilot is in heading mode and the autopilot will track the new Heading Bug value. Nav Mode Press the NAV button on the autopilot control head to engage Nav mode. The autopilot will intercept and track the desired course.
Flying with the EXP5000 ! If a VLOC is selected in NAV on the PFD and GPSS mode is engaged on the autopilot, the autopilot will track the active flight plan in GPS 1 if VLOC 1 is selected or GPS 2 if VLOC 2 is selected. It will not track VLOC 1 or VLOC 2 as the selected source in NAV on the PFD. Therefore the course deviation on the PFD CDI and the course deviation flown by the autopilot can be different. This situation may be confusing and should be avoided.
Controlling the Autopilot Altitude Capture Mode (S-TEC 55X only) Push the Alt Bug button on the EXP5000 and rotate the right knob on the EXP5000 to set a desired target altitude. Engage Altitude Capture mode by simultaneously pressing the ALT and VS buttons on the autopilot control head. The Alt Bug and VSI Bug will become solid magenta, while the Flight Director steering command bars, if configured on the aircraft, are shifted to correspond with the autopilot commands.
Flying with the EXP5000 The color of the Flight Director steering command bars reflect the status of the autopilot, as follows: ● When the autopilot is in AP mode, the Flight Director steering command bars are magenta. In AP mode, the autopilot steers the airplane toward the command bars until the Aircraft Reference Symbol (ARS) is tucked into the steering command bars. ● When the autopilot is in FD mode, the Flight Director steering command bars are green.
Precision Flying with EXP5000 3.7 Precision Flying with EXP5000 This section describes several techniques which take advantage of the EXP5000’s features to produce precision flight performance. Obtaining Level Flight You can obtain level flight by placing the apex of the yellow deltashaped reference symbol on the horizon line in cruise conditions of 6000’ MSL at 160 KIAS. The pitch angle for level flight will vary with flight conditions, depending on speed, altitude and weight.
Flying with the EXP5000 Using Trend Indicators Use the trend indicators to capture and maintain a desired airspeed and altitude by adjusting the pitch and/or power to the airspeed or altitude you want. This results in a smooth capture of the desired airspeed and altitude. 1 4 2 3 Figure 10. Trend Indicators 1) Airspeed Trend Indicator—The tip of the blue airspeed trend indicator displays the predicted airspeed six seconds into the future at the current rate of change.
Precision Flying with EXP5000 4) Altitude Trend Indicator—The tip of the blue airspeed trend indicator displays the predicted altitude six seconds into the future at the current rate of change. An arrowhead indicates a value beyond the current tape field of view.
Flying with the EXP5000 3.8 Using the EXP5000 for Approaches Precision Approaches Figure 11. Flying an ILS Approach Flying an ILS Approach The EXP5000 is designed to take full advantage of the auto transition capability of the Navigator systems for flying a GPS flight plan ending in an ILS approach. In this case, the horizontal deviation indicator (HDI) and vertical deviation indicator (VDI) windows are displayed on the ADI.
Using the EXP5000 for Approaches Flying an Autopilot-Coupled Approach (S-TEC 55X Only) To perform an autopilot-coupled approach, ensure the approach has been 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 activate the Glideslope capture capability. The autopilot will then track the Glidescope and localizer.
Flying with the EXP5000 ■ Use the EXP5000 Alt Bug to set the desired intermediate level off altitude or the minimum descent altitude (MDA) as a visual reminder. 3) After crossing the FAF, select VS mode on the autopilot. 4) Just prior to reaching MDA, select ALT on the autopilot to command altitude hold. Flying a Back Course Localizer Approach The EXP5000 is designed to fully support flying back course localizer approaches.
4 Invalid Sensors and Error Conditions When the data coming into the EXP5000 is unavailable or otherwise invalid, the EXP5000 provides appropriate warnings and messages.
Invalid Sensors and Error Conditions 4.1 Invalid Air Data Figure 12. Invalid Air Data If air data becomes unavailable: 1) Airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed data are removed and replaced by red X’s. 2) Wind Vector data is removed and replaced by dashes. 3) Outside Air Temperature and True airspeed data are removed and replaced by dashes. 4) The % Power ape is removed. If invalid air data occurs: ● Use the mechanical backup airspeed indicator and altimeter.
Invalid Heading 4.2 Invalid Heading Figure 13. Invalid Heading If valid heading data becomes unavailable, heading data and HSI navigation data are removed from the display and replaced with a red X. Note: Refer to the aircraft compass for heading. Refer to the EX5000 MFD or GPS Navigator for ground track and flight plan. When heading data is determined to be valid, the display of heading and HSI navigation data will be restored.
Invalid Sensors and Error Conditions 4.3 Crosscheck Monitor Figure 14. Crosscheck Monitor The Entegra EXP5000 comes equipped with a self-check monitor. When this monitor detects a condition that does not warrant removal of data, a CROSSCHECK ATTITUDE warning message displays. When this message is displayed, scan all backup instruments and auxiliary instruments (backup attitude indicator, backup airspeed indicator, and back up altimeter) to crosscheck the aircraft attitude.
Warmstart Conditions 4.4 Warmstart Conditions The EXP5000 is capable of performing a warmstart from a fully aligned condition when subjected to a power loss of less than 30 seconds. In this event, the “PLEASE STANDBY” message in the warmup box is displayed for approximately 2 seconds followed by the “ATTEMPTING QUICK RESTART” message and its countdown. There is no requirement to limit dynamic maneuvering during this warmstart attempt.
Invalid Sensors and Error Conditions 4.5 Recoverable Attitude Figure 16. Recoverable Attitude Situation If a recoverable attitude data failure occurs: 1) All normal button labels are removed. 2) Attitude data is removed from the display and replaced with a red X. 3) A Fast Erect button label and message displays. When you press Fast Erect, the message will change to “Maintain straight and level flight” until the 10 second count-down timer expires. At that point, all attitude data is restored.
Invalid Attitude & Heading 4.6 Invalid Attitude & Heading Figure 17. Invalid Attitude and Heading If valid attitude and heading data becomes unavailable, attitude data, wind vector data, heading data, and HSI navigation data are removed from the display. Note: You may be able to recover from a failed attitude condition by pulling both PFD circuit breakers for less than 20 seconds. This will initiate a warmstart as described in Section 4.4, "Warmstart Conditions" on page 45.
Invalid Sensors and Error Conditions 4.7 Invalid Engine Data Figure 18. Invalid Engine Data If valid engine data becomes unavailable: 1) %Power tape will be removed from the display. 2) Engine Instrument numeric readouts will be shown as white dashes instead of digits. ! It is likely that if data for one engine instrument is lost, that data will be lost for all engine instruments. Use engine instruments on the Multi-Function Display (MFD).
Nav Source Crosscheck 4.8 Nav Source Crosscheck When receiving valid navigation information from two radios tuned to the same navigation aid, the EXP5000 compares the data from the two and provides an alert if there is a miscompare. This comparison is only done when one of the radios is selected as the primary navigation source. Figure 19. Localizer and Glideslope Crosscheck Errors Figure 20.
