Fuel planning figures can be entered and displayed
based upon one of three possible configurations:
• No fuel sensors connected - In this instance fuel
flow is manually entered and is used to calculate
fuel on board. When fuel flow or fuel on board is
manually entered, the figures are retained the next
time the page is displayed (with fuel on board
continuously recalculated).
• Fuel flow sensor installed, but no fuel on board
sensor - Fuel on board is manually entered. Fuel
flow is automatically provided by sensor. If fuel
flow is manually entered (to override the sensor),
it does not affect the FOB figure and is not
retained the next time the page is displayed.
• Fuel flow and fuel on board sensors installed
- Fuel flow and fuel on board are automatically
provided by sensors. Fuel on board can NOT
be entered manually. Fuel flow can be entered
manually, but does not affect the FOB figure and
is not retained the next time the page is displayed.
