The Fuel Remaining info item (displayed as FUEL REM) displays the current amount of fuel
computed on board, based on your input of the aircraft’s starting fuel state and the amount of
fuel that has the fuel flow sensor has seen flow through it.
The Fuel Used info item (displayed as GALS USED) displays the amount of fuel that has been
used during your flight. Note that Fuel Used resets itself when the unit detects that oil pressure
has exceeded 15 PSI for the first time after being powered on. This allows you to view the fuel
used value from your last flight before engine start.
The Time Remaining info item (displayed as TIME REM) displays how much time is estimated
remaining before the aircraft is out of fuel.
The Fuel Efficiency info item (displayed as NM/GAL) displays how efficiently the aircraft is using
fuel with respect to the speed it is traveling over the ground (this also can be displayed as
MI/GAL, KT/GAL, KM/LTR).
The Fuel at Waypoint info item (displayed as WPT GAL) displays how much fuel will remain at
the next waypoint. This info item uses the current HSI navigation source for waypoint
information, and only displays information when there is a waypoint being navigated to. It
assumes you are flying directly at the waypoint and does not adjust for non-direct flights.
The Fuel Range info item (displayed as RANGE) displays the distance the aircraft can travel at its
current GPS ground speed before it is out of fuel.
In Dual Engine installations SkyView’s fuel computer computations may or may not
be combined between displays, depending on the configuration. See the Dual
Engine Monitoring section below for details.
