Aircraft Prole
This feature allows for entering specic data for the
airplane most frequently used for quick reference and
input when calculating weight and balance.
— K: The instrument calibration factor of the airplane.
This is used to calculate OAT from TAT (and vice-
versa) and is dependent on airspeed. It is set to
a default value of 1.0. This value is dependent on
the aircraft.
— Prole Valid: This allows you to set your prole On
or Off once all data is entered. If On, the aircraft
prole data will be used for all weight and balance
calculations.
— Empty Aircraft: Enter a reduction factor (RF). An
RF of 1 means all entries are taken at face value.
An RF of 100 means each moment is divided
by 100 before the calculator displays it or the
operator enters it; this will be taken into account
when the total and CG are computed. Enter 2 out
of 3 of the values for Wt, Arm, and Mom; the CX-3
will calculate the third automatically.
— Fuel (FuelAux): Type can be selected by pressing
enter (Av Gas: 6 lbs., Jet Fuel: 6.84 lbs., Oil: 7.50
lbs.).
— Individual Item Arms: Enter up to three arms for
pilot/passenger locations (each can be considered
a row). Enter up to two cargo station locations
and three custom elds available for various other
required stations.
* Note that all unsolved data elds must contain
a value for the prole to be valid. If a eld is not
required, simply enter a value of 0.00 (i.e., Custom 1
= 0.00 IN).

Flight Computer
◗ RESETTING
To wipe the memory and reset the CX-3, remove
all of the batteries. The FAA requires that all the
memory in an electronic ight computer be cleared
prior to use during FAA Knowledge Exams. You
may want to back up your data before resetting the
CX-3; see Appendix C on page 20 for instructions.
◗ USB
The CX-3 accepts a micro-type B-USB plug (not
included) to connect to the computer. This feature
allows users to save their settings and data. Once
connected to a computer, the CX-3 will be displayed
as a mass storage device when the unit is turned
on. The le “data.cx3” can then be saved and
reloaded back onto the CX-3 after factory defaults
have been restored. Instructions for updating the
CX-3’s rmware can be found in Appendix B on
page 19, and the procedure for backing up and
restoring data is detailed in Appendix C on page 20.
