The Fuel Remaining info item 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 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 displays how much time is estimated remaining before the
aircraft is out of fuel.
The Fuel Efficiency info item displays how efficiently the aircraft is using fuel with respect to the
speed it is traveling over the ground (mi/gal, kt/gal, km/ltr).
The Fuel at Waypoint info item 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 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.
