Flight Log
The Flights tab shows a list of any recorded flights, including date,
route of flight, and flight time. The GPSMAP 495 saves up to 50
recorded flights while in Aviation Mode. Entries on this list are
automatically created for each flight.
The bottom of the Flights tab shows the time of your last flight. This
resets if you select
All Unit Defaults
from the System tab options
menu.
An optional FlightBook software package is available to further
simplify your flight record keeping. For details about FlightBook,
visit the Garmin Web site at
.
Viewing the Flight Log
Recording begins when your speed exceeds 30 knots and you
gain 250 feet of altitude. The
Route of Flight
field uses the
nearest airport as the departure airport. The destination airport is
continuously updated as your flight progresses.
If you land and groundspeed drops below 30 knots, the flight entry
is saved and a new entry is recorded when you depart the airport.
A touch-and-go or brief stop of less than 10 minutes appends to the
current flight record, rather than starting a new entry.
Select any listed entry in the log to view additional information.
