8.1. Fuel and battery levels
This setting allows the pilot to adjust the
calculated fuel levels and remaining
battery capacity.
The fuel quantity is set by selecting the
fuel quantity using the Thrust Control
Dial.
NOTE:
If the fuel quantity determination is configured to use the
fuel probe only as input, the fuel quantity cannot be
adjusted. Refer to the configuration section to change
this configuration.
The remaining battery capacity can be seen when selecting the “Set
battery capacity” selection box. As it is normally not possible to
measure the remaining capacity of a battery, the battery should be
fully charged and this value adjusted to the maximum capacity of the
battery.
The maximum battery capacity can be adjusted. Refer to the
configuration section to change this configuration.
NOTE:
The remaining capacity is determined mathematically by
integrating consumption over time during operation.
When the Jet System is not switched on, a small leak
current is required to keep the system “alive”, slowly
draining the Jet battery.
