Calculator mode allows you to select many common functions and flight plan based calculations. There are two mode
pages in CALC mode:
MODE 1 (Flight plan/Fuel Mode)
This mode show current flight plan data and information when available. It can be used as a flight planning calculator. If
you are using an active flight plan, this mode uses current ground speed and fuel consumption to compute the following:

Estimated Time En Route (ETE)

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)

Flight Plan Distance (DIST)

Rate of Fuel Consumption
The fuel management pages also estimate the amount of fuel required to arrive at the current destination. If you are
flying a multi ‐ leg flightplan, the data reflects calculations from present position through the flight plan to final
destination. The pages available in this mode are:

Time, Distance and Speed Calculations

Fuel Management

Fuel Remaining

Fuel At Arrival

Minimum Fuel

Total Fuel Used

Engine Fuel Flow
Note: All fuel consumption calculations use Gallons Per Hour (GPH).

Air data calculations are available in the Air Data mode. The pages available in this mode are:

Pressure Altitude Calculations

Density Altitude Calculations

True Airspeed Calculations.

