The following flight planning items are available:
Fuel Planning — when equipped with fuel flow
(FF) and/or fuel on board (FOB) sensors, this item
displays current fuel conditions along the active
direct-to or flight plan. You may also manually
enter fuel flow, ground speed (GS) and (in some
instances) fuel on board figures for planning pur-
poses. Fuel planning figures can be displayed not
only for the currently active flight plan or direct-
to, but also point-to-point between two specified
waypoints and for any programmed flight plan.
Trip Planning — allows the pilot to view desired
track (DTK), distance (DIS), estimated time en
route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and
estimated time of arrival (ETA) information for a
direct-to, point-to-point between two specified
waypoints or for any programmed flight plan.
NOTE:
Point-to-point waypoints, flight plans
and/or ground speed (default is current GPS-
calculated ground speed) entered on the fuel
planning page will automatically transfer to the
trip planning page, and vice versa.
