The “other 6” page displays fuel information including the length of time (endurance) and the
distance (range) the aircraft can stay aloft based on the current flight parameters. The user can enter
a fuel value to be held in reserve which will be included in the endurance and range calculations.
This page also displays the current number of nm traveled per gal of fuel. There are 5 lines of
information.
• Line1: Display indicating the current page contains fuel data.
• Line 2: Displays the time the aircraft could go before running out of fuel under the present
flight conditions; in an hh:mm format.
• Line 3: Displays the distance the aircraft could travel under the current flight conditions; in
nautical miles.
• Line 4: Displays the current distance traveled on a gallon of fuel; in nm per gal.
• Line 5: Displays the user-entered gallons of fuel to hold in reserve. This value will be
subtracted from the total amount of fuel used in endurance and range calculations.
To change the amount of fuel held in reserve, go to the OTH 6 page, click on the LEFT CURSOR
BUTTON, and change the value using the LEFT INNER and LEFT OUTER KNOBS as discussed
