FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
TRIP STATISTICS
The trip statistics are calculated based on the selected starting and ending waypoints and the trip planning
inputs, derived from the flight plan. The system calculates these values depending on the specified mode
– flight plan mode (
FPL
Softkey enabled) or waypoint mode (
WPTs
Softkey enabled). Stored Flight Plans
may be used by selecting its corresponding number from the Flight Plan Catalog (01–99). ‘00’ is the default
number for the active flight plan.
In flight plan mode, with a stored flight plan selected, and the entire flight plan (‘CUM’) selected, the
waypoints are the starting and ending waypoints of the selected flight plan.
In flight plan mode , with a stored flight plan selected, and the desired leg selected (flight plan legs are
numbered in increasing order starting from ‘01’), the waypoints are the endpoints of the selected leg.
In flight plan mode, with the active flight plan selected, and the remaining flight plan (REM) selected, the
‘from’ waypoint is the present position of the aircraft and the ‘to’ waypoint is the endpoint of the active flight
plan.
In flight plan mode, with the active flight plan selected, and a specific leg selected, the ‘from’ waypoint is
the current aircraft position and the ‘to’ waypoint is the endpoint of the selected leg.
In waypoint mode, these are manually selected waypoints (if there is an active flight plan, these default to
the endpoints of the active leg).
Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the active flight plan has already
been flown.
»
Desired Track – Desired Track is shown as nnn° and is the desired track between the selected waypoints. It
is dashed unless only a single leg is selected.
»
Distance – The distance is shown in tenths of units up to 99.9, and in whole units up to 9999.
»
Estimated time enroute (ETE) – ETE is shown as hours:minutes until less than an hour, then it is shown as
minutes:seconds.
»
Estimated time of arrival (ETA) – ETA is shown as hours:minutes and is the local time at the destination.
If in waypoint mode then the ETA is the ETE added to the departure time.
If a flight plan other than the active flight plan is selected it shows the ETA by adding to the departure
time all of the ETEs of the legs up to and including the selected leg. If the entire flight plan is selected,
then the ETA is calculated as if the last leg of the flight plan was selected.
If the active flight plan is selected, the ETA reflects the current position of the aircraft and the current leg
being flown. The ETA is calculated by adding to the current time the ETEs of the current leg up to and
including the selected leg. If the entire flight plan is selected, then the ETA is calculated as if the last leg
of the flight plan was selected.
»
Enroute safe altitude (ESA) – The ESA is shown as feet above MSL.
»
Destination sunrise and sunset times – These times are shown as hours:minutes of the time at the destination.
FUEL STATISTICS
The fuel statistics are calculated based on the selected starting and ending waypoints and the trip planning
inputs. Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the active flight plan has
already been flown.
»
Fuel efficiency (Efficiency) – This value is calculated by dividing the current ground speed by the current
fuel flow.
»
Time of fuel endurance (Total Endurance) – This time is shown as hours:minutes. This value is obtained
by dividing the amount of fuel on board by the current fuel flow.
