ASI Span:

Select the maximum airspeed that you want the airspeed tape to display. This can give you increased display resolution.

ASI In View:

Adjust this setting to set the amount of tape to view. For example, setting this value to 30% and your "ASI SPAN" to 250 
will result in the tape showing 75 on the display at a time.

Vne Speed: (Max Exceed Speed)

Enter you maximum speed you aircraft should not exceed.

Vno Speed: (Max Maneuvering Speed)

Enter your maximum maneuvering speed.

Vfe Speed: (Max Flap Speed)

Enter the maximum speed that is permissible with the flaps extended.

Vs1 Speed: (Min Safe Speed, Normal)

Enter your minimum safe speed for normal flight of your aircraft

Vs0 Speed: (Min Safe Speed, Landing)

Enter your minimum safe speed for landing your aircraft

Vs Alarm:

This enables or disables Vs Alarm.

Vne Alarm:

This enables or disables the VNE alarm.

Cal:

During the factory calibration a factor has been determined and entered here that will give you accurate airspeed, pro -
vided your pitot tube is not influenced by pressure effects caused by airflow around your airframe. The calibration is dis -
played in % of the reading, you can increase or decrease the reading if required to help cancel out under or over reading
of the airspeed indicator on your aircraft.

Position:

Select whether you want the airspeed display on the top or on the bottom of the main display (VSI Tape display only).

Tape:

Select the desired display tape (Altitude, VSI or airspeed). The main display screen will change according to this selec-
tion.

Vs0 (Min safe speed, landing)

Vs1 (Min safe speed, normal)

Vfe (Max flap speed)

Vno (Max maneuvering speed)

Vne (Max exceed speed)
