Changing Units (Gal or Liters)
The GALS OR LITERS screen allows the user to set the units of fuel
measurement to their preference.
Flight timers and fuel values default settings require that the user manually reset them to zero. The
autopilot now has an option that saves this data only for the current flight - i.e. it automatically resets
them to zero at the beginning of each flight (on power up). The CONFIGURATION menu now gives the
user the ability to choose either option.
Zero Flt Fuel On Power Up
If the fuel option is present in the autopilot this CONFIGURATION menu selection now also allows
automatic reset of the FUEL USED on each power up sequence.
The selection is enabled by pressing the HMODE button which places
an arrow next to the variable field (YES/NO). Rotating or pressing the
ENCODER changes the selection. The selection is exited by pressing
the HMODE button which erases the arrow and returns the encoder function to display selection.
The TOTAL FUEL USED value that is used to calibrate the K Factor is not affected by this setting. Note
that the PREFERENCES menu ZERO FUEL USED menu will still zero both the FLT FUEL USED and
the TOTAL FUEL USED. Also, holding the remote fuel display button will allow clearing of both the FLT
FUEL USED and the TOTAL FUEL USED values if activated.
To prevent a momentary loss of power (while in flight) from resetting the values, the autopilot monitors
airspeed and will not allow an automatic reset while in flight.
Fuel Display Timeout
The default setting (5 SEC) will cause the remote button to present
fuel parameters for 5 seconds and then return to the navigation
displays. This CONFIGURATION menu selection allows (when set to
NEVER) the reading to stay on screen until the user presses the HMODE or VMODE button, or the
ENCODER is rotated.
The selection is enabled by pressing the HMODE button which places an arrow next to the variable field.
Rotating or pressing the ENCODER changes the selection. The selection is exited by pressing the
HMODE button which erases the arrow and returns the encoder function to display selection.
