3.3 FUEL DISPLAY
NOTE: Fuel calculations do not use the aircraft fuel quantity indicators and are calculated from the last time
the fuel was reset.
NOTE: If optional auxiliary fuel tanks are installed, the fuel remaining can be adjusted up to a maximum of
76.4 gal; the Fuel Quantity Indicator does not account for fuel in the auxiliary tanks.
The Fuel Display is accessed by pressing the
FUEL
Softkey. Besides the engine load indicator and tachometer,
all indications on this display are digital readouts, separated into two categories: Fuel and Fuel Calculations. Total
aircraft time in service is at the bottom of the display.
Accessing the EIS Fuel Display:
1) Press the ENGINE Softkey.
2) Press the FUEL Softkey.
3) To return to the default Engine Display, press the ENGINE or BACK Softkey.
