Note: At longer range settings, individual lightning strikes and storm
cells are combined into single strikes or single storm cells,
depending on their proximity. This avoids clutter and
improves readability. And vice versa, lower map range
settings will display more strikes and storm cells.
6) Compass/Range Ring - Displays a 360-degree compass range
ring or a 120-degree compass arc with current range setting. The
range number is the distance from the graphic aircraft symbol to
the outer compass range ring.
7) Special Use Airspace -The EX500/EX600 uses several different
line styles to convey special use and class airspaces. Class B,
Class C, Class D, MOA, SFRA, Warning, and Alert areas,
restricted and prohibited areas are displayed. See Map
Symbols—Line Styles on page 146 for more information.
8) Datalink Radar Status Box (EX500 only) - If more than three
sensors are installed on the EX500, data for the datalink radar
status is displayed at the bottom of the page instead of in the
Sensor Status Box. DL RDR indicates MLX770 Iridium datalink
radar data status, NXR for ORBCOMM datalink radar data status,
US Rdr for US Broadcast datalink radar status, and CAN Rdr for
Canadian Broadcast datalink radar status.
9) Terrain Scale - Legend colors represent terrain elevations. The
left number on the scale shows the lowest terrain currently
displayed on the map, and the right number shows the highest
terrain on the map. The terrain scale also displays obstacle
height if the highest obstacle exceeds the highest terrain. A small
cyan window will be displayed when this occurs.

Do not rely on the EX500/EX600 as your sole source for
SUAs. The status of SUAs may change or may be
unavailable. Before conducting a flight, always confirm the
state of SUAs with FAA Flight Service.

When using Datalink weather, monitor the data age so that
you are aware of the time elapsed since the last weather
update.
