Fuel level sender
Select this item if you have installed a fuel level sender. Note: once you have installed the
sender you need to calibrate it. The calibration procedure is outlined further on in the device
setup menu. Alternatively, you may elect to have fuel level calculated from fuel flow. We
recommend however that you install a fuel level sender. This is not subject to incorrect fuel
level reporting which may be a factor if incorrect starting fuel level is entered if only the fuel
flow sender is used.
Use the + and – keys to change the setting.
Hour fraction mode
Select whether you want hour fractions to display in decimal fractions of an hour or in
minutes. This applies for the display of hobbs meter and flight time. Time of day always
displays minutes.
Use the + and – keys to change the setting.
Flight detect mode
Select here if you want the instrument to detect the start of a flight automatically or if you
want to manually start and stop a flight.
This setting is relevant for the automatic logbook and the flight timer display. If you choose
automatic flight detection, a flight starts if airspeed is above 30 mph (48 Kph or 26 Kn) and
engine revs above the limit set in the take-off revs setting (basic setup menu).
Flights are logged automatically if a flight duration of at least a minute has been detected.
In the manual flight detect mode, you can start and stop flights for logging purposes yourself
using the main menu. We recommend you use the automatic flight detect mode.
Use the + and – keys to change the setting.
Reset air distance
Select if you would like the air distance trip counter to reset to zero automatically when you
start a flight. In any case you can reset this trip counter at any time manually from the main
menu.
Use the + and – keys to change the setting.
Instructor mode
Select if you would like to use the flight log in a way suitable to log lessons rather than
individual flights.
Use the + and – keys to change the setting.
Lesson start
Select which criteria to use to start a lesson (instructor mode only). Eg. either hobbs revs or
take-off revs.
