Version 15.0 AF-5000 Series Pilot Guide 12
Autopilot – Servos
Dynon Avionics SV32, SV42, and SV52 servos enable the operation of AF-5000’s integrated autopilot system. Refer to
the System Installation Guide for more information about Dynon Avionics autopilot servos.
Autopilot Control Panel – SV-AP-PANEL
The SV-AP-PANEL is an optional panel-mounted module that affords dedicated controls for the AF-5000. The SV-AP-
PANEL includes dedicated buttons for engaging the Flight Director, Autopilot, and all modes including setting up fully-
coupled approaches, VNAV, IAS Hold, and mode sequencing (provided that the necessary IFR navigation sources are
installed in the aircraft). It also has a LEVEL button to immediately return the aircraft to straight and level flight.
Auto-trim
A secondary function of the SV-AP-PANEL is that it can control one or two electric trim control motors (replaces a
conventional “relay deck”). If this function is installed, the AF-5000 Autopilot, when engaged, can also provide
automatic trim control – Auto-trim.
Transponders – SV-XPNDR-261 and SV-XPNDR-262
The SV-XPNDR-261 (Class 1) and SV-XPNDR-262 (Class 2) are TSO’d remote mounted Mode-S transponder modules that,
in addition to their transponder capability, contain ADS-B Out capability via 1090 ES, and TIS traffic input capability (US
Only). Note: Only the Class 1 SV-XPNDR-261 meets the 2020 mandate for ADS-B Out.
ADS-B Receiver – SV-ADSB-472
The SV-ADSB-472 is a Dual Band (1090 / 978 MHz) ADS-B receiver. It can receive traffic and weather information from
the Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) system. ADS-B data allows integrated traffic and NEXRAD
weather data to be displayed on your AF-5000 display. Currently the UAT Band is only used in the US
Com Radios – SV-COM-C25 and SV-COM-X83
The SV-COM-C25 is an integrated VHF Com Radio for AF-5000 consisting of two modules: the SV-COM-PANEL, and the
SV-COM-425. The SV-COM-C25 has 25 kHz channel spacing and is intended primarily for aircraft operating in the US. The
SV-COM-X83 is an integrated VHF Com Radio consisting of two modules, the SV-COM-PANEL, and the SV-COM-T8. The
SV-COM-X83 has 8.33 kHz channel spacing required for European pilots. Both the SV-COM-C25 and SV-COM-X83 can
tune frequencies by querying an aviation database installed in a AF-5000.
Intercom – SV-INTERCOM-2S
The SV-INTERCOM-2S is a two-place stereo intercom that is designed to pair perfectly with your AF-5000 System and AF-
5000 Com Radio. It has inputs for AF-5000 audio alerts, stereo music, and multiple other mono muting and non-muting
inputs.
Knob Panel – SV-KNOB-PANEL
The SV-KNOB-PANEL is an optional panel-mounted module for AF-5000. This control panel has three knobs dedicated to
the most common AF-5000 bug functions – ALT, BARO, and HDG/TRK. This module is particularly useful in AF-5400
systems. Note that these bugs can also be adjusted from the three AF-5000 display knobs.
Video Input Adapter
The optional Video Input Adapter enables the display of a video signal (must be S-Video or Composite) on your AF-5000
display in a window. The Video Input Adapter must be inserted into one of the two USB plugs on the back of the AF-
5000 display during system power-on and while operating.
Wi-Fi Adapter
The optional Wi-Fi Adapter allows supported devices, such as Apple iPhones and iPads, with supported apps, such as
ForeFlight, to exchange data with AF-5000. For example, you can compose a flight plan (or, multiple flight plans) in
ForeFlight, and after you get to your plane, ForeFlight can send a flight plan to AF-5000. The Wi-Fi Adapter must be
inserted into one of the two USB plugs on the back of the AF-5000 display during system power-on and while operating.
