EXP5000 PFD Part of The Envision Flight Deck by Avidyne

At the heart of the Envision EXP5000 PFD is Avidyne’s fullyintegrated, solid-state Air Data/ Attitude and Heading Reference System (ADAHRS). The compact, lightweight, ADAHRS system uses a 3-axis solid state gyro and accelerometer system combined with a magnetometer to replace vertical and directional gyros. Avidyne’s state-of-the-art ADAHRS provides Roll, Pitch, and Heading data with reliability far exceeding mechanical gyros, at a price point far below solid-state systems found in high-end corporate aircraft. Connected to the pitot-static system, Envision’s integrated air data computer provides airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, and outside air temperature (OAT), and continually updates the winds aloft and true airspeed (TAS) indications on the display.

The EXP5000 PFD provides 6-second trend indicators for airspeed, altitude and heading. Trend indicators, typically found on air transport and high-end corporate jets, allow you to fly with higher precision and reduced workload when changing or maintaining critical airspeeds or altitudes.

V-Speed labels on the Airspeed Indicator for Vx – Best Angle of Climb, Vy – Best Rate of Climb, and Vg – Best Glide, take the guesswork out of flying precise airspeeds during critical phases of flight. The addition of Heading Tick Marks across the EXP5000’s horizon improve the pilot’s ability to anticipate heading intercepts while reducing the pilot’s scan area.

The Envision EXP5000 PFD may be coupled with the autopilot for altitude preselect, vertical speed select and heading select modes without the need for external controllers. Selection bugs and digital readouts for each of these parameters are provided for concise operation.

The straight-forward user interface makes flying Envision a breeze. Human-factors studies and flight test experience suggest less is more in terms of PFD modes, and we’ve kept it simple, yet elegant. Envision provides one-button access to frequent pilot settings such as BARO and altitude/ vertical speed/ heading bugs. Nav sources are push-button selectable for the EHSI needle, the bearing pointer, and the flight-plan moving map. The Envision EXP5000 PFD was designed to have a learning curve of less than five minutes. It’s simply that easy to use.
