Pilot Familiarity
While the E5 is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with E5 Dual
Electronic Flight Instrument required. Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new
users get some dual instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some
time becoming familiar with the E5 Dual EFI.
E5 Overview
The E5 system is built around the EFD 1000 which replaces the Attitude Indicator and
Directional Gyro of your six primary flight instruments. The E5 Dual EFI is IFR capable
with limitations.
E5 / MFD Compatibility
Aspen offers an MFD 500 and MFD 1000. The E5 is not compatible with our MFDs. In
order to integrate with either MFD you must first upgrade the E5 to a PFD Pro.
