Mini Engine Monitor
Figure 56:
Small heading indicator combined with a moving map.
A heading scale arc illustrates directions about 45
◦
left and right of current heading.
Current position is marked with the airplane symbol. This symbol is always shown on
the same place and the map is moving beneath. Because we are more interested what
is in front, the symbol is positioned at the bottom.
The moving map can be viewed at different zoom levels. In order to give a visual
feedback for the distance, the zoom scale is shown on the left side of the map.
Nesis calculates two prediction points and shows them on the map.
These points
shows the future position assuming current heading, airspeed and wind situation. The
prediction times depend on the zoom level. Large zoom levels have larger prediction
times and vice versa.
The wind arrow is used to inform pilot about the wind direction. When the windspeed
is less than 2.0 m/s, the arrow is omited.
The top bar displays numeric information about the bearing and distance to the selected
waypoint and current ground speed.
The bottom bar displays the wind information (wind speed and wind direction) and
name of currently selected waypoint.

Mini Engine Monitor
The mini engine monitor window shows the most relevant engine information in one place in
the form of color bars, see figure 57. Each bar corresponds to one engine parameter. Green,
yellow and red colors represent normal, caution and dangerous range, respectively.
The monitor bars are grouped into temperatures, pressures and RPMs. The temperature
group includes EGT, CHT, oil, water (coolant) and carburetor temperatures. The pressure
group usually includes oil and fuel pressure. Since Nesis can be put into different configura-
tions, the parameters shown in the monitor may vary.
