Integrated Flight Display System
The system assist a single pilot to manage an IFR-operated flight. The design is clearly oriented to provide quick access to the requested information and to handle the data as quickly as possible. The goal is to relieve the pilot and reduce the pilot's workload.
The Integrated Avionics System in the Extra500 consists of two IFD-s in the front and one Keypad in the center console.
Display
Each IFD has five page-select keys at the bottom. With these keys the active page can be selected. Once on the active page, the appropriate page-select key will navigate through the associated tabs. On the left- and right hand side, there are multi- function keys, so called "Line Select Key"(LSK). Each tab serves a function on the LSK. If it has a function, this is indicated with a light on the key (green at day, white at night). The intended function name of the LSK is displayed next to it on the display. On the left and right bottom corners, there are two rotary knobs. The intended function is displayed in the left/right corners of the tab indication.
- 1. Dimming knob for the display brightness mouse left
- 2. Baro knob to adjust the altimeter setting wheel up for +, wheel down for - and wheel press set 1013 (standard)
- L1-6 and R1-6 "Line Select Key"(LSK) is a rocker switch and can have two functions left/right indicated in the display
- LK and RK rotary knob usable with wheel up, wheel down and wheel press and +⇧ Shift increases the amount
- Page Select Key is a rocker switch first mouse left select the page then mouse left navigate through the tabs left/right

Keypad
The keypad has a QWERTY layout with a few special function buttons along the outer edges and a row of number keys along the top of the keypad.
The display has two areas : a semi-permanent screen for com and nav frequencies on the left. On the right half there arethe relevant data displayed acording to the performed operation on the keypad (e.g. transponder code input, autopilot sttings, FMS data entry, etc).
All edits are "live edits" in that they are immediately applied.
COM : Communication Frequencies
Communication tunning on the keyboard. Selecting the Com1 or Com2 with the top left short-keys activates the standby frequency for input.
With the number keys 0-9 you can enter the new freqency the leading 1__.__ must not typed in. With the CLR Key the input is cleared, CNCL cancels the input and ↵ Enter or the Swap Key on the left display side confirm the freqency. Also a time out will confirm the input.
After input time out the left screen will display the via audiopanel selected com radio transceiver and wait for input.
Navigation tunning on the keyboard. Selecting the Nav1 or Nav2 with the top left short-keys activates the standby frequency for input.
Input handling is the same like Communication Frequencies.
XPDR : Transponder
Transponder setting on the keyboard. Selecting the XPDR Key will show the transpoder screen on the right. With the keyboard you can enter the new code. Pressing Mode will switch through the transponder modes [GND, ON, ALT ,OFF, SBY, TST]. The VFR Key sets the transponder code to the default VFR code 7000. IDENT sets the transponder in ident mode.
AUX : DME
The keypad can drive a external DME reciver, located left of the pilot yoke. By pressing Aux shows a list of the two active nav freqencies. With the knob FMS bottom right the freqency can be selected and will send to the DME reciver. If the active freqnecy is changed it will also send it again to the DME reciver. To supress the overriding you can select the "HOLD" freqency.
FREQ LIST : Frequency List
The FREQ LIST will show a list of the most logical frequencies for your geographic position and flight phase. with the FMS knob you can select it into the stanby frequency of the active com radio tranciver
Special Keys
- PROC : a shortcut to the published arrival or approach procedure
- NRST : selects the FMS-Nearest Page and can toggle [Nearest Airports, Nearest Airports to destination, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, ARTCCs, FSS]
- -D-> : DirectTo the selected waypoint in the active flightplan
- -V-> : FlyVectors an override of the active flightplan the plane will follow the HDG bug.
Altitude knob
The altitude knob(bottom left) immediately edit the altitude bug of the autopilot. If use the edit altitude screen is displayed.
Heading knob
The heading knob(bottom center) immediately edit the heading bug of the autopilot. If use the edit headinng screen is displayed. By pushing the heading bug is synced with the current heading of the aircraft.
FMS knob
The FMS knob(bottom right) has several functionality depending on the performt operation in the keypad and ifd. In most cases it will scroll through selectable objects.
