FUEL RANGE RING

WARNING: The G3X Fuel Calculator and/or Fuel Range Rings are NOT
intended to be relied upon as the primary fuel indicator(s), and does not
relieve the pilot from the responsibility of proper flight planning. G3X fuel
calculations do not use the aircraft fuel quantity indicators and are calculated
from the last time the fuel was reset.
The Navigation Map can display fuel range rings which show the remaining flight
distance. If current fuel endurance is greater than reserve, range-to-empty is shown as
a solid green circle and range-to-reserve is a dashed green circle. If current endurance
is less than reserve, range-to-empty is shown as a solid yellow circle. Fuel range
rings are offset to show the effects of the wind at the current location (e.g., does not
account for wind variations throughout the range).
Displaying/removing the fuel range rings and selecting a fuel
reserve time:
1) From the Map Page, press the MENU Key.
2) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'Set Up Map', and press the
ENT Key.
3) Turn the FMS Joystick to highlight the 'Map' Category from the horizontal

5) Using the FMS Joystick select (On/Off) or set the fuel reserve time and press

Map Page with the changed settings.
