the 12 on the face, it represents 8. Therefore the distance traveled in 110 minutes at 70 miles-per-
hour is 120 + 8 or 128 miles.
How to calculate distance and fuel usage
Now that you know a few of the basics, you can start using the Flight Computer to estimate your
distance or fuel usage in relation to time. Simply select the numeral on the bezel that represents the
time interval and set the bezel so that number is directly above the numeral on the face represents the
number of miles, kilometers, nautical miles or pounds of fuel traveled or used in that time period. Then,
as time passes, you locate the lapsed time on the bezel and look directly below it for the approximate
distance traveled, fuel usage, etc.

How to convert basic units
The Flight Computer is provided with red arrows on
the face for converting to and from nautical miles,
statute miles and kilometers. The Red arrow above
the "A" in "STAT" on the face is for statute miles.
The red arrow above the "U" in"NAUT" on the face is
for nautical miles.
The red arrow above the "H" in MPH is for
kilometers.
To convert, for example, 13 KM. to statute and
nautical, move the bezel so that the numeral 13 on
the bezel is directly above the red arrow (above/right
of the "H" in "MPH") on the face. The statute miles in
13 KM. is found on the bezel directly above the red
arrow above the "A" in "STAT" on the face, which is
the numeral 8.1.
Thus 8.1 statute miles equals 13 KM. If you look
directly above the red arrow above the "U" in "NAUT"
you will see the numeral 7.05. This is the number of
nautical miles in 8.1 statute miles and 13 KM.
