and other connected instruments:
• Course deviation - Half left/no flag
• TO/FROM flag - TO

• Distance to destination - 10.0 nm
• All external annunciators (if installed) - On
• Glideslope - Half up/no flag

• Desired track - 149.5°
• Ground speed - 150 knots
The Instrument Panel Self-test Page indicates the
currently selected OBS course, fuel capacity (CAP), fuel
on board (FOB), and fuel flow (FF). The fuel capacity,
fuel on board, and fuel flow may be manually entered if
the installation does not include connection to sensors
which automatically provide these figures.
Entering fuel capacity, fuel on board,
or fuel flow figures (if not provided by
sensors):
1) Turn the large right knob to select the Fuel
Capacity, Fuel on Board, or Fuel Flow field.
2) Turn the small and large right knobs to enter
the desired figure (Figure 1-7) and press the
ENT Key.
