Electronics International MVP-50P - Manual (Page 31)

The Tach Timer records the total number of hours the engine is run above 1300 RPM. The Tach Timer may be set
in the “Engine Data, GPS, Timers, etc. Setup” screen. To the right of the displayed Tach Time is the status of the
timer.
The Engine Hour Timer records the total number of hours the engine has run. The Engine Hours may be set in the
“Engine Type, Ports, Timers, etc. Setup” screen. Changes in this screen are password protected. To the right of the
displayed Engine Hour Timer is the status of the timer.
4.7 “Weight and Balance” Screen:
The “Weight and Balance” screen provides a quick and easy way to
perform a weight and balance calculation for your aircraft. It is
imperative that the correct data is set in the “Weight and Balance
Setup” screen before using this screen. Changes in this screen are
password protected. Also, the MVP calculations must be verified
as accurate for many different scenarios before using this screen.
When using this screen be sure to enter all the weight added to the
aircraft, including fuel.
If the current total weight of the aircraft exceeds the maximum
weight, the “CG,” “Total,” and “Diff” displayed values will be shown
in Red. If the current “CG” for the aircraft is outside of the CG
envelope and the current weight of the aircraft is less than the
maximum weight, only the “CG” value will be shown in Red.
You may view a graph of your aircraft’s current center-of-gravity and weight by selecting “View CG Limit Graph”
located at the bottom of the screen.
Important Note: As pilot in command it is your responsibility to ensure that the weight and balance of the aircraft
are within the limits designated by the aircraft’s POH. Do not rely solely on the MVP to determine whether or not
the aircraft is properly weighted.
4.8 “Checklist” Screens:
The Checklist is your most valuable tool to insure a safe flight. It is
easy to miss a critical step in any phase of the flight (latch the
canopy, richen the mixture, push in carb heat, drop the landing
gear, select the mains, etc.). Every checklist for your aircraft
(standard and emergency) can be installed into the MVP and then
recalled by the pilot at a moment’s notice.
The MVP is capable of storing up to 50 custom Checklists. Three
Checklists can be open and active at any one time. A Checklist
can be as long or as short as you need it to be. When a Checklist
is too long to fit entirely on the blue screen, simply rotate the Select
knob downward and the screen will scroll upward, revealing the
rest of the checklist.
