and currents for the main and standby alternators and the battery. Standby alternator current is indicated only
when active.

FUEL CALCULATIONS GROUP

NOTE:

Fuel calculations do not use the aircraft fuel quantity indicators and are calculated from the last time

the fuel was reset.

Fuel used (GAL USED), endurance (ENDUR, HH:MM), and range (RANGE NM) are all calculated based on

the displayed fuel remaining (GAL REM) and the fuel flow totalizer. The displayed fuel remaining, for purposes
of these calculations, can be adjusted 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 sets the GAL USED

display to zero
