GPS NAVIGATION
• The selected ‘FROM’ and ‘TO’ waypoints. In waypoint mode these are the selected waypoints. In flight plan
mode with a specific leg selected the waypoints shown are the endpoints of the selected leg. In flight plan
mode with the entire flight plan selected the waypoints shown are the start and end waypoints of the selected
flight plan. In automatic flight plan mode with active flight plan selected, the ‘from’ waypoint is the present
position and the ‘to’ waypoint is the end of the selected leg.
• DEP TIME (departure time) - this defaults to the current time
• GS - ground speed
• FUEL FLOW
• FUEL ONBOARD
• CALIBRATE AS (calibrated airspeed) - in auto mode, the primary source of information is from the air data
system, and the secondary source of information is the GPS ground speed.
• INDICATED ALTITUDE - In auto mode, the primary source of information is the barometric altitude, and the
secondary source of information is the GPS altitude.
• PRESSURE (barometric pressure)
• TOTAL AIR TEMPERATURE
TRIP STATS
• DTK (desired track)
• DIS (distance) - the distance is shown in tenths of units up to 99.9. The distance is shown in whole units
up to 9999.
• ETE (estimated time enroute) - this time is either be shown as minutes:seconds, if the time enroute is less
than an hour, as hours:minutes.
• ETA (estimated time of arrival)
• ESA (enroute safe altitude) - This value reflects either the ESA for the selected leg, for the route between two
selected waypoints, or for the entire flight plan, depending on what is currently selected.
• Destination sunrise and sunset times
FUEL STATS
• EFFICIENCY (fuel efficiency) - this value is calculated by dividing the current ground speed by the current
fuel flow.
• TOTAL ENDUR (time of fuel endurance) - this time is shown as hours:minutes and is obtained by dividing
the amount of fuel on board by the current fuel flow.
• REM FUEL (fuel on board upon reaching end of selected leg) - this value is calculated by taking the amount
of fuel onboard and subtracting the fuel required for trip.
• REM ENDUR (fuel endurance remaining at end of selected leg)
• FUEL REQ (fuel required for trip) - this value is calculated by multiplying the time to go by the fuel flow.
See fuel endurance for an explanation of how time to go is calculated.
