ADS-B
Aspen will soon be oering a range of ADS-B receivers and transceivers to meet the
pending ADS-B mandate, January 1, 2020.
When connected to the EFD 1000 VFR PFD these options enable ADS-B weather and
trac hazards to be overlaid on the Navigation Display.
Evolution Hazard Awareness (EHA)
Aspen’s Evolution Hazard Awareness (EHA) option allows the EWR50 XM WX Data Link
Weather Receiver, WX500 Stormscope®, and Trac system to be connected to the PFD.
These options enable weather and trac hazards to be overlaid on the Navigation
Display.

Our pre-ight weather brieng noted a line of thunderstorms west and south of
Albuquerque, moving northeast at 15 knots. Our ight plan route should keep us clear
of the weather, but we want to check the latest NEXRAD images before departure just to
be sure. So we zoom the map out to its farthest range and turn on the Data Link NEXRAD
Precipitation and Lightning overlays to see how things look along our route of ight. (In
ight, we’ll also use our WX500 Stormscope® for real-time lightning detection, but on the
ground, Data Link Lightning will give us a better indication of where the thunderstorms
are located).
