Enter the aircraft’s altimeter reading.
•
Baro Pressure
—when the unit is receiving XM weather information, the field auto-
matically updates to the barometric pressure of the nearest METAR. If XM weather
information is not available you need to enter the current barometric pressure.
•
Calibrated Airspeed
— required entry for density altitude/true airspeed calculation.
Enter the aircraft’s airspeed indicator value.
•
Total Air Temp
— required entry for density altitude/true airspeed calculation. Total
Air Temperature (TAT) is the temperature of the air including the heating effect caused
by speed. The temperature reading on a standard outside air temperature gauge found
on most piston aircraft is TAT.
•
