INFO PAGE DATA FIELD OPTIONS (FULL-SCREEN) (CONT.)

Info Page Data Field Option Definition

Estimated Time En Route
(Next) (ETE NEXT)

The estimated time it takes to reach the next
waypoint form the present position, based upon
current ground speed.

Estimated Time of Arrival
(Destination) (ETA DEST)

The estimated time at which the aircraft should
reach the destination waypoint, based upon current
speed and track.

Estimated Time of Arrival
(Next) (ETA NEXT)

The estimated time at which the aircraft should
reach the next waypoint, based upon current speed
and track.

Estimated Time to VNAV
(VNAV TIME)

The estimated time it takes to reach the VNAV
waypoint form the present position, based upon
current ground speed.

Flight Timer (FLT TIMER)

Total time in-flight (HH:MM).

Fuel Economy (ECONOMY)

Current Mile Per Gallon (MPG), based upon ground
speed and fuel flow.

Fuel Endurance (ENDURANCE)

This value is obtained by dividing the amount of
fuel on board by the current fuel flow (endurance
to empty - no reserve included).

Fuel Flow (FUEL FLOW)

The current fuel flow.

Fuel Remaining (FUEL REM)

The current fuel remaining (gal) adjusted for fuel
burn and based on fuel flow.

Fuel Tank Timer (FUEL TIMER)

Elapsed time since the Fuel Tank Reminder Alarm
was last issued (HH:MM).

Fuel Used (FUEL USED)

The quantity of fuel used (gal) based on fuel flow.

Glide Ratio (G/R)

The estimated distance an aircraft will move
forward for any given amount of lost altitude.

Ground Speed

The velocity that the aircraft is traveling relative to
a ground position.

Ground Track (TRK)

The direction of aircraft movement relative to a
ground position.
