The system interfaces directly with the PFDs for system control and radar information display. The Weather Radar System provides pilots with local weather to aid in avoiding thunderstorms and associated turbulence. It is not designed for use as a terrain or collision avoidance system. The weather radar system provides the following features: • Transmission of radar signals and detection and classification of radar returns from precipitation including rain, snow, hail, and ice. • Signal processing to characterize intensity of precipitation. • Display of weather information. • Built-in testing to identify fault conditions and annunciation messages. • Pilot interface functions to control tilt, operation modes, gain, and range. • Automatic stabilization of the radar antenna to maintain a constant scan relative to the horizon during moderate aircraft maneuvers. SECTION 7 ECLIPSE AVIATION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONS EA500 Part No. 06-122204 Issued: PRELIMINARY 7-2 Original Issue Controls and Indication The Weather Radar Control Buttons and Knobs are the same on Both Left and Right PFDs.

PURPOSE/INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to define the methods, approaches, schedule, and delegations that Eclipse Aviation Corporation plans to use to show compliance to 14 CFR Part 23 §§ 23.305, 23.307, 23.611, 23.867, 23.1301, 23.1309, 23.1311, 23.1321, 23.1431, 23.1351, 23.1555, 23.1357 and 23.1581 for the Eclipse Model 500 Weather Radar and Radome. Section 3.0 provides a brief description of the Weather Radar and the Radome. Section 4.0 provides a brief description of compliance that will be performed for the applicable FAR’s, with Appendix A providing a summary Compliance Matrix using the following compliance methodologies: - Design Review: compliance is shown by providing design description or information (i.e., drawings, schematics and engineering descriptions). - Analysis: compliance is shown by analytical methods (i.e., structural analysis, safety analysis, thermal analysis, performance analysis). - Component Qualification: compliance is shown by part or box level tests in test labs (i.e., DO-160 environmental tests, component/coupon tests). - Ground Tests: compliance is shown by ground-based tests with an airplane, simulator, or the Integration Test Lab. - Flight Tests: compliance is shown by dynamic airplane flight tests requiring a flight crew. - Compliance Inspection: compliance is shown by physical inspection of a part, assembly, manual, layout, etc. If airplane powering is required, this would not be a compliance inspection (it would be a ground or flight test). - Compliance Statement: compliance is shown merely by the basis of stating information (i.e., choosing one of multiple methods of compliance provided by a FAR, stating that a FAR does not apply). Final compliance with reference to the specific compliance submittals for the FAR sections detailed in this Plan will be provided in the Certification Report for the weather radar, EAC CR-2072-101.

This will help prevent damage to the aircraft and assist in preventing bodily harm. All measured values specified in this document shall be recorded in the resulting Functional Test Procedure. Cautions and Warnings: Maximum Permissible Exposure Levels (MPEL) In order to avoid the envelope in which the radiation level exceeds the U.S. Government standard of 10 mW per square centimeter, all personnel should remain beyond the distance indicated in the illustration below. (The distance to the MPEL boundary is calculated upon the basis of the antenna, rated output power of the transmitter and in the boresight position of the antenna.)
