Flight Planning Page: Density Alt / TAS / Winds
To calculate density altitude, true airspeed, winds aloft:
1. Select “Density Alt / TAS / Winds” from the flight planning page, using the steps described on
page 136.
2. The flashing cursor highlights the indicated altitude (IND ALT) field. Use the small (
a
) and
large (
h
) right knobs to enter the altitude indicated on your altimeter. Press
E
when
finished.
3. The flashing cursor moves to the calibrated airspeed (CAS) field. Use the small (
a
) and
large (
h
) right knobs to enter the airspeed from your airspeed indicator. Press
E
when
finished.
4. The flashing cursor moves to the barometric pressure (BARO) field. Use the small (
a
) and
large (
h
) right knobs to enter the barometric pressure (altimeter setting). Press
E
when
finished.
5. The flashing cursor moves to the total air temperature (TAT) field. Use the small (
a
) and
large (
h
) right knobs to enter the temperature. Press
E
when finished.
6. The flashing cursor moves to the aircraft heading (HDG) field. Use the small (
a
) and large
(
h
) right knobs to enter the aircraft heading from the directional gyro or compass. Press
E
when finished.
7. With all variables entered, the following information will be provided:
• DEN ALT— Density altitude
• TAS— True airspeed
• WIND— Wind direction and speed
• HEAD/TAIL WIND— Magnitude of head wind or tail wind

NOTE
If your installation includes components (such as an airdata sen-
sor) to provide any of the variables above, the density alt/tas/winds
page data will default to the values provided by these components.
