3.4 FUEL DISPLAY
NOTE: Fuel calculations do not use the aircraft fuel quantity indicators and are calculated from the last time
the fuel was reset.
NOTE: If optional auxiliary fuel tanks are installed, the fuel remaining can be adjusted up to a maximum of
76.4 gal; the Fuel Quantity Indicator does not account for fuel in the auxiliary tanks.
The Fuel Display is accessed by pressing the FUEL Softkey. Besides the engine load indicator and tachometer,
all indications on this display are digital readouts, separated into two categories: Fuel and Fuel Calculations. Total
aircraft time in service is at the bottom of the display.
Fuel calculations are based on the fuel flow totalizer and the displayed fuel remaining, adjusted by the pilot
using the following softkeys:
• DEC FUEL – Decreases totalizer-based fuel remaining in one-gallon increments
• INC FUEL – Increases totalizer-based fuel remaining in one-gallon increments
• RST FUEL – Resets totalizer-based fuel remaining to the aircraft’s fuel capacity and the GAL USED to zero
