• Line 5: Displays the user entered ambient temperature in degrees Celsius.
• Line 6: Displays the Density Altitude in feet above MSL based on the ambient temperature
and the Pressure Altitude.
To use this calculator page:
1. Display the CAL 1 page on the left screen and click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON.
2. Use the LEFT OUTER KNOB to scroll through data entry fields, and the LEFT INNER KNOB to
change the values. Each data entry field is highlighted with a background rectangle to show
the current field to be changed. The Pressure and Density Altitudes will be computed as you
enter the data.
3. Exit the data entry mode at any time by clicking on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON. All data
entered in the session will be retained.
CALC 2: Calculator 2 Page (CAL 2)
Fig 2.2
The calculator 2 page is used to calculate the aircraft’s true airspeed (TAS) based on user-entered
values of calibrated airspeed, indicated altitude, barometric pressure, and the total air temperature.
There are 6 lines of information, 4 of which are used for data entry.
• Line 1: Display to indicate this page is used to calculate TAS.
• Line 2: Display of the user-entered calibrated airspeed (indicated airspeed) in knots.
• Line 3: Display of the user-entered altitude in feet above MSL.
• Line 4: Display of the user-entered barometric pressure in inches of Hg. Can also be set to
display millibars of pressure using the SET 6 page.
• Line 5: Displays the user-entered total air temperature in degrees Celsius.
• Line 6: Displays the TAS of the aircraft in knots as calculated from the user-entered values.
To use this calculator page:
1. Display the CAL 2 page on the left screen and click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON.
2. Use the LEFT OUTER KNOB to scroll through data entry fields, and the LEFT INNER KNOB to
change the values. Each data entry field is highlighted with a background rectangle to show
the current field to be changed. The TAS will be computed as you enter the data.
3. Exit the data entry mode at any time by clicking on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON. All data
