Engine Monitor Display
The system can display the engine monitor on the bottom of the main EFIS page or as a full Engine page if
the system has one of the following:
1. The screen has an engine monitor board installed in the case.
2. The screen is connected to another screen that has an engine monitor board installed with an
Ethernet crossover cable.
Fuel Computer
The fuel computer is accessed from the main screen by pressing the [ENGINE] button followed by pressing
the [FUEL] button.
WARNING
The GALS USED (Gallons Used) and GALS REM (Gallons Remaining) displayed is not a
measurement of the fuel in the aircrafts tanks. The fuel amount calculated from the starting fuel level you
programmed in the system, minus the fuel used while the engine was running. When the system is properly
calibrated and fuel is added correctly the system will accurately measure the fuel used. It is imperative the
pilot verify the calibration of the system over many tanks of fuel before using the "GALS REM" and/or "GALS
USED" Modes as an indication of the fuel in the tanks or fuel used. Even after verifying the calibration of the
system it should never be used as the primary indicator of fuel quantity in the tanks. It is important the pilot
visually check/measure the fuel quantity for each tank before takeoff and crosscheck these readings against
the Fuel Level Gauges and the Fuel Computer. It is important the pilot use preflight and flight planning
techniques, in accordance with the FAR's, which will help insure the proper amount of fuel for the intended
flight is on board the aircraft before takeoff. While in flight the fuel gauges and fuel computer should only be
used to crosscheck the fuel calculations of the fuel onboard from flow rates specified in the specification for
your aircraft and calculations of the fuel onboard from flow rates that you measured from previous flights.
The use of this system does not eliminate or reduce the necessity for the pilot to use good flight planning,
preflight and in-flight techniques for managing fuel. If you are not familiar with these techniques, contact the
FAA to acquire proper training.
