Datalink (Optional)
Avidyne EX500/EX600 MFD -94- 600-00078-001 Rev 05
10.2 Two-Way Datalink
The EX500/EX600 supports an optional 2-Way Datalink transceiver
which may be:
● The MLX770 provides worldwide access via the Iridium satellite
constellation.
● The Orbcomm receiver provides North American access
(Release 4.0 and earlier). Due to variability in the Orbcomm
satellite signal, weather update rates may be unpredictable with
the ORBCOMM system.

The 2-Way Datalink transceiver sends your flight plan to the Avidyne
Network Operations Center (NOC), which then sends you only the
data pertinent to your flight. Two-Way Datalink can provide the
lowest-cost datalink by charging only for the data used.
Note: If you have both 2-Way Datalink and Broadcast Datalink, you
can use Avidyne’s MultiLink feature.
