Flight Planning
• No Fuel Sensors Connected — In this instance
fuel on board and fuel flow are manually en-
tered and used to recalculate fuel on board as
it is consumed. When fuel flow or fuel on board
is manually entered, the figures are retained
the next time you view the page (with fuel on
board continuously recalculated).
• Fuel Flow Sensor Installed, But No Fuel On
Board Sensor — Fuel on board is manually
entered. Fuel flow is automatically provided
by sensor. If fuel flow is manually entered (to
override the sensor), it does not affect the FOB
figure and is not retained the next time you
view the page.
• Fuel Flow and Fuel On Board Sensors Installed
— Fuel flow and fuel on board are automati-
cally provided by sensors. Fuel on board can
NOT be entered manually. Fuel Flow can be
entered manually, but does not affect the FOB
figure and is not retained the next time you
view the page.
Trip Planning — allows you to view desired
track (DTK), distance (DIS), estimated time en
route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and
estimated time of arrival (ETA) information for a
direct-to, point-to-point between two specified
waypoints or for any programmed flight plan. This
item also displays the sunrise/sunset times for your
destination waypoint (for the selected departure
date).
The Trip Planning Page calculates desired
track, distance, estimated time en route, en
route safe altitude and estimated time of
arrival for a specified direct-to, point-to-point
or flight plan.
NOTE: Point-to-point waypoints, flight plans and/
or ground speeds (default is current GPS-calcu-
lated ground speed) entered on the Fuel Planning
Page automatically transfer to the Trip Planning
Page, and vice versa.
Density Alt / TAS / Winds — indicates the
theoretical altitude at which your aircraft per-
forms depending upon several variables, including
indicated altitude (IND ALT), barometric pressure
(BARO) and total air temperature (TAT; the tem-
perature, including the heating effect of speed, read
on a standard outside temperature gauge). This
item computes true airspeed (TAS), based upon the
factors above and the calibrated airspeed (CAS).
Also, this menu option determines winds aloft
— the wind direction and speed — and a head
wind/tail wind component, based upon the calcu-
lated density altitude (DEN ALT), true airspeed,
aircraft heading (HDG) and ground speed.
