“One Cycle = N1 above _____% then below _____%”: This line allows you to set the logic to determine
when a cycle is counted (engine or flight). An engine cycle is counted for each engine start. To record engine
cycles, set the “N1 above” field to a value just above the maximum N1 that can be reached during start with no fuel
(around 35%). Set the “then below” field to a very low value (around 3%).
A flight cycle is counted at each takeoff. To record flight cycles, set the “N1 above” field to a value reached just
after takeoff (around 98%). Set the “then below” field to a value just above N1 at taxi or ground idle (around
60%).
“Engine Hours above N1 _____% = ______ Hours”: This line allows you to set the level N1 must reach
before engine hours are recorded (around 35%). The total Engine Hours may also be set on this line. Engine Hours
should only be changed with the engine off. Engine Hours is a measurement of the total time the engine has run.
“Flight Timer Start ...” and “Flight Timer Stop ...”: These two fields control the N1 values at which the “Flt
Timer” (found on the Timer Screen) starts and stops. The “Flt Timer” starts, stops, resets and times the flight
automatically. The objective is to set the Start N1 level so the flight timer starts as you liftoff (around 98%) and to
set the Stop N1 value so the timer stops as you pull off the runway (around 70%).
6.8 “Serial Port Setup” Screen:
“Port 2 Receive (GPS In)”: The Port 2 Receive field may be set
to “Disabled” or “Auto Detect Enabled.” GPS data is used to
calculate fuel information provided on the Fuel Management
Screen. When the GPS Receive field is set to “Auto Detect
Enabled,” the GPS signal is tested for six seconds for a valid baud
rate and format. If a valid baud rate and format is not found, the
MVP will change its baud rate and try again. If you do not have the
MVP connected to a GPS, set the Port 2 Receive field to
“Disabled.”
Note: If the MVP includes the “Chelton Interface Option” and Port
2 Tx Format (Out) is set to “Chelton Data,” Port 2 Receive (GPS
In) will only auto detect for GPS signals at 9600 baud.
“Port 2 Receive Status”: When the Port 2 Receive field is set to
“Auto Detect Enabled” the Port 2 Receive Status field will show one of the following:
“Trying 9600”: The MVP is looking for a GPS signal at 9600 baud.
“Trying 4800”: The MVP is looking for a GPS signal at 4800 baud.
“OK: Moving Map 9600”: The MVP has found the moving map format at 9600 baud.
“OK: NEMA 4800”: The MVP has found the NEMA format at 4800 baud.
“OK: NEMA 9600”: The MVP has found the NEMA format at 9600 baud.
