To calculate distance and time for a flight plan:
1. From the CAL 1 page, turn on the cursor (
B
). It will appear
over a cyclic field that either displays Wpt (waypoint to waypoint)
or Fpl (flight plan).
2. For this type of calculation, the cyclic field should display Fpl.
Press
E
to toggle if this is not the case.
3. Turn the right outer knob
clockwise to place the cursor over
the flight plan number. As you
cycle through the flight plans, the
first and last waypoints of each
flight plan will be displayed, along
with the total distance in nautical
miles (figure 4-56).
4. Once you have selected the desired flight plan, move the cursor
to the groundspeed field on line 4.
5. Select your estimated ground-
speed for the trip. As you change
it, the estimated time en route
(ETE) calculation will be updated
(figure 4-57).
4.3.2. THE CALCULATOR 2 (CAL 2) PAGE
The CAL 2 page is for calculating fuel requirements for a trip. To use
these pages, you need to have a good idea what the typical fuel flow
rate for your aircraft is. This information can often be found for given
cruise power settings in a "performance" section of the Pilot’s
Operating Handbook for the aircraft. The units for fuel are not speci-
fied on this page, but the units of time are always hours. This means
that you can use gallons per hour, pounds per hour, kilograms per
hour, etc. Like with the CAL 1 page, the fuel calculations can be
done from waypoint to waypoint (including present position), or for
one of your flight plans.
To calculate fuel requirements from waypoint to waypoint:
1. From the CAL 2 page, turn on the cursor (
B
). It will appear
over a cyclic field that either displays Wpt (waypoint to waypoint)
or Fpl (flight plan).
