Blaze FLIGHT-3 Operating Manual

Page 2 

RPM Display

The FLIGHT-3 can measure engine and/or rotor RPM. 

Fuel Computer

Full functionality is available with a fuel flow and level sender or only with a fuel flow sender using calculated fuel levels
based on fuel usage. Fuel injector systems are also supported. Standard automotive fuel level senders can be used, even
with odd shaped tanks due to a comprehensive, multi-point calibration system. Most fuel flow senders can be used as the
K-factor of the sender can be entered into the system for simple calibration. Fuel flow can be displayed in l/Hr or in G/hr.

MGL Avionics supplies a lightweight dual range fuel flow sender that is ideally suited for the FLIGHT-3. Fuel flow senders
from other manufactures are equally suitable.

In addition, the FLIGHT-3 can use the actual ground speed from a RS232 NMEA enabled GPS receiver to determine fuel
range.

Local Time display

The FLIGHT-3 is capable of displaying time to facilitate ordinary ATC time reporting. Time is maintained by an internal 
lithium battery which can be replaced by the user.

Battery Voltage, *Current and Charge display

The FLIGHT-3 can be used to monitor your aircraft’s battery power supply. The FLIGHT-3 is very useful in determining
your battery’s health, charging status, as well as the current load consumption of your aircraft. The FLIGHT-3 can be used
in both 12V and 24V aircraft and can measure voltages up to 30V DC.

The FLIGHT-3 uses the MGL Avionics Magnetic Closed Loop Current Sensor to measure the aircrafts current load. The
FLIGHT-3 contains a programmable low/high voltage alarm to automatically detect bad batteries and alternator failures. 

OAT display

OAT can be shown in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. The FLIGHT-3 also contains a programmable low/
high OAT alarm.

Flight Timer & Flight log

The FLIGHT-3 provides a 50 entry flight log that stores the start time and duration of each of the last 50 flights. The flight
timer can either be started using the front push button or automatically from RPM and airspeed.

* Requires the MGL Avionics Magnetic Closed Loop Current Sensor (sold separately)
