Flight Planning Page

The Flight Planning Page provides access to E6B
functions for fuel planning, trip planning, density
altitude/true airspeed/winds aloft calculations, sched-
uled messages and a "Crossfill" function to transfer
flight plans/user waypoints to a second 500W-series
unit. When a flight planning item is selected, the cor-
responding page appears providing additional infor-
mation and features.

The following flight planning items are available:
Fuel Planning — When equipped with fuel flow
(FF) and/or fuel on board (FOB) sensors, this item
displays current fuel conditions along the active
direct-to or flight plan. You may also manually
enter fuel flow, ground speed (GS) and (in some
First Page
instances) fuel on board figures for planning pur-
in AUX Group
poses. Fuel planning figures can be displayed not
only for the currently active flight plan or direct-
to, but also point-to-point between two specified
waypoints and for any programmed flight plan.
Fuel planning figures can be entered and displayed
based upon one of three configurations:
• No Fuel Sensors Connected — In this instance
fuel on board and fuel flow are manually en-
tered and used to recalculate fuel on board as
it is consumed. When fuel flow or fuel on board
is manually entered, the figures are retained
the next time you view the page (with fuel on
board continuously recalculated).
• Fuel Flow Sensor Installed, But No Fuel On
Board Sensor — Fuel on board is manually
entered. Fuel flow is automatically provided
by sensor. If fuel flow is manually entered (to
override the sensor), it does not affect the FOB
(e.g. Density Alt / TAS / Winds Page).
