1) Radar—
Press the Radar Button to turn on the radar. The current
tilt (Up or Down) is displayed in the sensor status box.
Use the left knob to change the bearing (outer knob) and tilt
(inner knob) of the radar. The left outer knob is configured to
control Gain when in Ground Mode.
The most used Radar control functions are available on the left side
of the Map page so that map and overlaid weather data can be used.
While the Map page used alongside the radar provides the largest
amount of situational data, you can also view radar-only and/or
detailed radar control via the dedicated Radar page. Rotate the right
outer knob to display the Radar page. This page provides a traditional
(non-overlaid) radar display as well as comprehensive control of the
radar and access to the complete list of features.
As part of the pre-takeoff check, check the radar for proper operation.
While at a safe distance from ground personnel and other aircraft,
briefly turn the radar on and tilt the antenna below zero degrees. If the
radar is working properly this will produce ground reflections and
verify the correct operation of the transmitter/receiver and antenna tilt
functions.
After landing, set the radar to Standby. A warning message displays if
the radar is not off or in standby and the groundspeed (as received
from the GPS system) falls below 20 Kts. If Auto Standby is enabled,
the EX5000 will automatically switch the radar to Standby when
ground speed falls below 20 Kts.
Note:
Actual operation of the Radar function depends on the particular
make and model of the installed radar. Make sure you are familiar with the
functionality and operation of the radar system installed on your aircraft.
See the User Guide for your radar for details.
Note:
For Radar messages, see Table 12.21 Radar Messages and
Colors on page 169.

Radar is intended as a severe weather avoidance tool only.
