Aerosoft PBY Catalina 1.00 Manual
Page 65 of 100
Fig3.7
The setup page 7 is used to adjust the volume of the altitude aural alert. It is currently INOPERATIVE.
OTHER: OTHER PAGES
The other pages are designed to assist the user in fuel management, and to provide pertinent air
data information. There are 6 "other" pages: the first 4 are being used for fuel management, and the
last 2 are used to display air data information. Only the first 2 pages have a choice of user input. User
input lines have an ":" annunciation. The default screens display the current values based on the
flightsim input, and will do so until changed by the user. “Other pages 1-4” contain information
about the internal functioning of the unit, and are not accessible by the user.
OTHER 5: Other 5 Page (OTH 5)
Fig 4.1
The “other 5 page” displays fuel-related information with little input from the user. The user can
enter a" fuel on board" amount, and an amount to be held as a reserve, and the unit computes the
amount of fuel required to reach the destination waypoint, the amount of fuel remaining, and an
"extra" amount that takes the amount of fuel designated as a reserve into consideration. The
amount of fuel reserve is designated by the user. The values displayed on the page are determined
by current flight parameters, such as ground speed and power setting, and are therefore subject to
change. There are 6 lines of information on this page.
• Line 1: Annunciation indicating the values on this page are expressed in gallons.
• Line 2: Displays the current number of gallons of fuel on board in the default screen, or
displays the value entered by the user.
• Line 3: Displays the required number of gallons of fuel necessary to reach the destination
waypoint.
• Line 4: Displays the calculated total gallons of fuel remaining on board at the destination
waypoint.
• Line 5: Displays the user-entered gallons of fuel to "place" on reserve. The value is 0 unless
changed by the user.
• Line 6: Displays the "extra" amount of fuel remaining at the destination waypoint taking into
account the amount of fuel placed in reserve.
