6.11 TRIP AND FUEL PLANNING

The Trip and Fuel Planning Page

allows you to calculate time and fuel
requirements between any two
waypoints or for any programmed
route. On the first cyclic field, you

will choose between waypoint (WPT)

highlighting and pressing CLR. If

route planning is selected, you would then select the desired route
number and the portion of the route (a given leg or all of the route) to

calculate the desired track (DTK), fuel requirements (REQ), range

“WPTS:”.

(second line), and enter the first
waypoint name followed by ENT.

second waypoint name followed by ENT.
