Envision EX5000 -47- 600-00151-001 Rev 01
4 Traffic Mode and the Traffic
Page
When a Traffic Advisory (TA) is reported from the traffic sensor, the
EX5000 displays a traffic alert message in the Message Bar.
Pressing the ACK button next to the message acknowledges the
traffic alert and displays the dedicated traffic page that provides you
maximum traffic situational awareness.
4.1 The Dedicated Traffic Page
The dedicated Traffic page is a specially configured Map page with
the following settings:
l View—Center, with heading (or track) up
l Range—5 NM
l Base Map—No terrain or political boundaries
l Declutter—No symbol or airspace depictions
l Lightning—Not displayed
l Flight Plan—Displayed
!
It is dangerous to rely on the EX5000 as your sole source of
data for collision avoidance. Traffic information is provided as
an aid to visually acquiring traffic. Maneuver your aircraft
based only on ATC guidance or positive acquisition of
conflicting traffic. It is your duty as pilot in command to see
and avoid.
Notes: The intruder track information provided by TIS traffic systems is only
accurate to within 45° of true intruder track. Take this into account when
visually acquiring the reported traffic.
Keep in mind that intruder traffic can maneuver at any time, and the current
intruder track direction does not guarantee the intruder will continue along
that track.
For traffic sensors without track information (e.g. TAS), traffic symbols are
shown without the “stinger”.
