The “# Cycles” can be setup to count airframe (takeoff / landing) cycles or engine start cycles. The value of “#
Cycles” is based N1. When a preset high value of N1 is reached the “Status” field will display “Armed.” Then,
when a preset low value of N1 is reached the “Status” field will display nothing and the value of “# Cycles” will be
incremented by one.
The preset high and low values of N1 are set in the “Engine Data, Hour Meters and Flight Timer Setup” screen
found in the “System Configuration Screens Menu. Only the installer (using the maintenance password) is
authorized to make these changes.
The “Engine Hours” field is base on time the engine is operated above a preset value of N1. This preset value of
N1 is set in the “Engine Data, Hour Meters and Flight Timer Setup” screen found in the “System Configuration
Screens Menu. Only the installer (using the maintenance password) is authorized to make these changes.
4.7 “Weight and Balance” Screen:
The “Weight and Balance” screen provides a quick and easy way to
performing a weight and balance calculation for your aircraft. It is
imperative that the correct data is set in the “Weight and Balance
Setup” screen before using this screen. Also, the MVP calculations
must be verified as accurate for many different scenarios before
using this screen. When using this screen be sure to enter all the
weight added to the aircraft, including fuel.
If the current total weight of the aircraft exceeds the maximum
weight, the “CG,” “Total,” and “Diff” displayed values will be shown
in Red. If the current “CG” for the aircraft is outside of the CG
envelope and the current weight of the aircraft is less than the
maximum weight, only the “CG” value will be shown in Red.
You may view a graph of your aircraft’s current center-of-gravity and weight by selecting “View CG Limit Graph”
located at the bottom of the screen.
Important Note: As pilot in command it is your responsibility to ensure that the weight and balance of the aircraft
are within the limits designated by the aircraft’s POH. Do not rely solely on the MVP to determine whether or not
the aircraft is weighted properly.
4.8 “Checklist” Screens:
The Checklist is a valuable tool to insure a safe flight. It is easy to miss a critical step in any phase of the flight.
Every checklist for your aircraft (standard and emergency) can be installed into the MVP and then recalled by the
pilot at a moment’s notice.
The MVP is capable of storing up to 50 custom Checklists. Three Checklists can be open and active at any one
time. A Checklist can be as long or as short as you need it to be. When a Checklist is too long to fit entirely on the
blue screen, simply rotate the Select knob downward and the screen will scroll upward, revealing the rest of the
checklist.
