FlightMax EX5000

600-00105-000 Rev 01
Your EX5000 comes equipped with an integrated datalink function that allows you to
stay completely tuned in to the current weather, SUA, and TFR conditions along your
route of flight. Since this function is completely integrated, there is nothing "special" or
new that you need to learn to make it work for you.
You will need to log on to
MyAvidyne.com
and follow the simple account setup
instructions in order to establish an Avidyne datalink account. Be sure to have your
datalink subscriber communicator (SC) serial number handy. You will need it to open
your account. You can view your SC s/n on the EX5000 Datalink Setup Page. Once
your account is activated, you may immediately begin enjoying the advantages of the
EX5000’s satellite-based datalink capability. In addition, your
MyAvidyne.com
datalink
account provides you with access to your billing and usage statements, as well as
providing pre-flight weather links and planning tools. You can set your datalink user
preferences online prior to your flight, and they will be downlinked to your EX5000 via
satellite the next time you fly.
When you power the EX5000 up, it will immediately begin sending position data to tell the
satellite network where you are and that you are about to begin a flight. Weather data will
begin transferring to your airplane based upon your user preferences. No action is
required to begin receiving weather (You will have to pull your airplane out of the hangar so
that the satellite receiver can interrogate and locate a satellite).
Upon entry of a flight plan into your primary GPS receiver, your EX5000 will
automatically download the weather for your route of flight without any additional action
required. Additional updates will be provided while enroute based upon the update rate
that you have selected online or on the EX5000’s datalink setup page.
