display, the data fields window will provide information on the flight time remaining before the
reserve fuel has been reached.
NOTE
The Fuel Consumption represents calculated fuel use based on user data. The reserve does not represent
actual fuel available in the aircraft.
Fuel Consumption can be modified en route by increasing or decreasing the fuel burn
rate to match actual usage. The new fuel computation will be averaged over the full distance
and provide a good estimate of fuel remaining.
and provide a good estimate of fuel remaining.
When refueling en route, combine the amount of new fuel and the remaining fuel to
enter the new “Starting Fuel” total for true computation of To Reserve data.
NOTE
Fuel calculations are only as accurate as the entries made. Always double-check fuel calculations.
