AF-5000

The AF-5000 Series by Advanced Flight Systems (AFS) is a line of integrated, high-resolution, touchscreen electronic flight display (EFIS) avionics systems for experimental and light-sport aircraft. These systems offer a 4:3 aspect ratio, XGA LED-backlit display that shows primary flight instruments, navigation data, and engine monitoring in a single unit with minimal sub-menus. The AF-5000 series also features synthetic vision technology, integration with autopilot systems, a carbon monoxide monitor, and supports SiriusXM Aviation weather services.

Key Features

• Integrated EFIS Display:A single, high-resolution, sunlight-readable touchscreen display that consolidates primary flight instruments, navigation sources, engine data, and other critical information.
• Synthetic Vision:Features a "highway in the sky" presentation and a 3D flight plan view with flight director cues for enhanced situational awareness.
• Autopilot Integration:The autopilot is fully integrated and can be controlled directly from the EFIS, allowing for coupled approaches and mode selection.
• Pilot Interface:Designed with a pilot-friendly interface, including dynamic reconfiguring buttons and knobs, three knobs, and a joystick for control.
• Engine Monitoring:Includes software for monitoring various engine parameters like temperatures, pressures, and fuel.
• Carbon Monoxide Monitor:The system incorporates software that detects heart rate, oxygen levels, and carbon monoxide in the cabin.
• Connectivity:Features multiple data ports, including RS-232, USB, and Ethernet, for system expansion and data updates.
• ADS-B/Traffic Integration:Compatible with transponders for ADS-B compliance and displays traffic information.
• SiriusXM Integration:Supports SiriusXM Aviation weather services through a dedicated receiver.

Functionality & Operation

• Data Updates:Software and data updates, including chart data from, are managed via USB sticks.
• Redundant Displays:Systems can be configured with multiple displays, with an option to add a secondary ADAHRS for instrument redundancy.
• Modular Design:The system can include various components that share data and power, with both panel-mounted and remote-mounted options available for some units.

The AF-5000 series is part of a larger Advanced Flight Systems ecosystem, which also includes integrated panel solutions called ADVANCEDPANELs, designed to simplify the installatsion process by providing pre-engineered, pre-wired, and pre-tested instrument panel
