Fuel Consumption - AvMap EKP-IV User Manual

Wind Calculation is a full screen page with the following structure:
Fig. 10.5 - Wind Calculation page
The EKP-IV computes wind velocity and direction from the information en-
tered above and from the current Ground Speed,Track and Altitude, which
are derived from GPS data. ETE to Waypoint is also based on GPS Ground
Speed and Track.
Wind information will be recomputed when the heading, air speed, air tem-
perature or Altitude values are edited.
NOTE
The wind calculator does not correct for local barometric pressure, which may not be known
accurately enroute. The values produced by the wind calculator may therefore differ from the true
winds by up to 5%.

10.6 FUEL CONSUMPTION

The EKP-IV computes Fuel Consumption for each leg of the active Flight Plan
or the fuel used in flight, based on entries made by the pilot. This is a useful
feature for flight planning purposes. Actual Fuel Consumption will vary based
on flight conditions and engine settings.
Fuel can be calculated in pounds, liters or gallons; the units of measure used for
the valuesentered here are selected from Units Setup menu in the System Setup
Menu (see Par. 14.5).
