CHAPTER 1. AIRCRAFT MODULES 1.5. CESSNA 172RG
O.A.T./Voltmeter Operation
The upper portion of the LCD window is dedicated to O.A.T. and voltmeter operations. The voltmeter
reading is preselected upon startup and is indicated by an "E" following the display reading. Pushing the
upper control button will sequence the window from voltage to Fahrenheit ("F") to Celsius ("C"), and back
again to voltage.
Clock Operations
The lower portion of the LCD window is dedicated to clock and timing operations. Pushing the Select
button will sequence the window from universal time (UT) to local time (LT) to ight time (FT) to elapsed
time (ET) and back again to universal time. Pushing the Control button allows for timing functions within
the four "Select" menus. Setting procedures are as follows:
1. Setting Universal Times
Use the Select button to select universal time (UT). With the actual instrument, you would simulta-
neously press both the Select and Control buttons to enter the set mode. With the ELITE model,
press the Select & Control button as shown in gure 1.38 to enter the set mode with a single mouse
click.

When ELITE is not in the Freeze Mode, the tens of hours digit will start ashing. The Control
button has full control of the ashing digit, and each button push increments the digit. Once the
tens of hours are set the Select button selects the next digit to be set. After the last digit has
been selected and set with the Control button, a nal push of the Select button exits the set
mode. The lighted annunciator will resume its normal ashing, indicating the clock is running in
universal time mode.
2. Setting Local Times
Use the Select button to select local time (LT). Press the Select & Control button with a single
mouse click to enter the set mode. The tens of hours digit will start ashing. The set operation is the
same as for UT, except that minutes are already synchronized and the UT clock cannot be set in local
time.
3. Flight Time Reset
Use the Select button to select ight time (FT). Hold the Control button down for 3 seconds or until
99:59 appears on the display. Flight time will be zeroed upon release of the Control button.
4. Setting Flight Time Flashing Alarm
Use the Select button to select ight time (FT). Simultaneously press both the Select and the Control
buttons by mouse clicking on the Select & Control button to enter the set mode. The tens of hours
digit will start ashing. The set operation is the same as for UT. When actual ight time equals the
alarm time, the display will ash. Pressing either the Select or Control button will turn the ashing
o and zero the alarm time. Flight time is unchanged and continues counting.
5. Setting Elapsed Time Count Up
Use the Select button to select elapsed time (ET). Press the Control button and elapsed time will
start counting. Elapsed time counts up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds, and then switches to hours and
minutes. It continues counting up to 99 hours and 59 minutes. Pressing the Control button again
resets elapsed time to zero.
