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
instances) fuel on board figures for planning pur-
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.
Trip Planning— allows the pilot to view desired
track (DTK), distance (DIS), estimated time en
route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and
estimated time of arrival (ETA) information for a
direct-to, point-to-point between two specified
waypoints or for any programmed flight plan.
NOTE: Point-to-point waypoints, flight plans
and/or ground speed (default is current GPS-
calculated ground speed) entered on the fuel
planning page will automatically transfer to the
trip planning page, and vice versa.
