Other conversions
You can also do other conversion calculations on the Flight Computer. You can, for example, convert
pounds of aviation gasoline, kerosene, or JP-4 to gallons. You can also convert from gallons to pounds.
Simply move the bezel so that the
is over the numeral on the face that represents the number of
10
pounds in 1 gallon of that type of liquid (see the conversion table on next page), find the number of
gallons you’re converting on the bezel and look directly below that at the corresponding number on the
face. That is the number of pounds!

The example below converts
20
gallons of oil (petroleum) to pounds. The Conversion Table shows
1 gallon = 7.35 pounds
, so setting the
on the bezel over
7.35
and looking under
20
on the bezel
shows
147
pounds on the watch face scale.

NOTE!
Use the Flight Computer only to
estimate fuel usage and travel distance.
Do not rely on it for navigation purposes.
Its purpose is to allow you to keep track
of approximate fuel usage or distance
traveled over time and to estimate
equivalent kilometers, statute and or
nautical miles. Any other use is outside
the design parameters of the Flight
Computer and is not recommended.
