Ultra-Bright, High-Resolution Display

The FlightMax 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 some competitor’s displays, and an incredibly wide viewing angle, it provides clear and concise navigation information over an exceptional color-contoured terrain and water base map.

The FlightMax EX5000 presents navigation, radar, datalink weather, lightning, traffic, and terrain data in an easy to interpret format, dramatically improving situational awareness and enhancing safety through all phases of flight.

The Best Map Available with MultiLink™ & CMax™

All special-use and class airspaces are color-keyed for added clarity, and can be displayed at the same time as NEXRAD or weather radar data for a more complete picture. Comprehensive Jeppesen NavData™ and an expansive North American obstacle database provide an unparalleled view of your flight environment. Full overlay capability allows you to add or remove traffic, Stormscope, and radar, with 180-degree forward view and 360-degree center view maps.

Curved Paths
The FlightMax EX500’s large display shows easy-to-see curved flight path segments such as DME arcs, holding patterns and procedure turns, overlaid with traffic, terrain, weather, airports and runway diagrams. Adding Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Charts, the EX500 really takes the guess work out of shooting instrument approaches.

The Easiest To Use
The FlightMax EX500’s user interface dramatically improves your ability to access and display critical flight data. This design philosophy keeps operation simple and consistent by allowing you to select and display what you need on a single easy-to interpret integrated moving map. As a radar replacement, the FlightMax EX500 provides easy access to radar modes, tilt control, and bearing adjust. With the FlightMax EX500’s “map-centric” operation, you can display a moving map of your flight plan along with radar and datalink weather. And special-use airspace. And traffic. And terrain. And lightning. Without ever leaving the map page. It’s the only display that provides the complete picture and it’s the easiest to use.

Trip Page
The Trip page provides information about your route of flight including a list of all remaining waypoints in the active flight plan, with distances and times for each leg. Graphical METAR's 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 METAR's are also available for each reporting airport. FlightMax translates the METAR abbreviations into plain English for easy interpretatio
n.
Terrain & Obstacles
With its complete terrain and water base map, and a North American database containing towers and other obstacles greater than 200’ AGL, the FlightMax 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 FlightMax EX500 also interfaces with the popular EGPWS/ TAWS sensors for added safety, making it the most versatile multi-function display available.
EX500
TFR's
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.

Avidyne’s exclusive MultiLink™ capability seamlessly integrates broadcast and two-way datalink capability for the most advanced and easiest-to-use datalink system you can get. With MultiLink, your FlightMax EX500 displays aviation weather at the high-speed update rates of the XM broadcast system, with the added enhancement of two-way datalink capability for aircraft-specific datalink communications. The XM WX™ Satellite Weather service gives pilots comprehensive, graphical information about weather conditions all across the Continental United States (CONUS). XM WX delivers critical, real-time information for pilots including NEXRAD Radar in high resolution, full-color graphical format, overlayed on the EX500’s industry-leading moving map. XM also provides graphical and plain-English textual METAR's, AIRMET's, SIGMET's, TFR's, and lightning strikes from the National Lightning Detection Network®. Using the two-way satellite network, the EX500 connects the aircraft to FlightCenter™ and Avidyne’s exclusive suite of datalink services including two-way text messaging and flight tracking.

EX500

MultiLink also provides the added advantage of Canadian and Caribbean (Non-CONUS) coverage.

Whether you choose the high-speed XM WX solution for weather, or the advanced capability of MultiLink for XM WX and FlightCenter, the EX500 delivers datalink benefits you simply can not get with any other system.

Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Charts option offers a worldwide library of geo- referenced approach charts and airport diagrams, helping you manage and access critical flight information and reducing the amount of paper required on board your aircraft.

Utilizing Jeppesen’s trusted JeppView™ Electronic Airway Manual, CMax makes accessing an approach or viewing an airport diagram a breeze. At startup, your departure airport chart is automatically loaded for ease of orientation, especially at unfamiliar fields.

Your destination airport diagram and the list of available approaches are automatically loaded at the time your flight plan is entered, and can be viewed easily using the Auto-fill capability, or you can easily select and view any approach at any airport in the database.
