CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL T182T NAV III AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
GFC 700 AFCS
U.S.
FUEL SYSTEM (Continued)
FUEL INDICATING SYSTEM (Continued)
Fuel flow is measured by use of a turbine type transducer mounted on
the centerline of the engine between the fuel/air control unit and the
fuel distribution unit. This flow meter produces a signal that is displayed
as the rate of fuel flow on the FFLOW GPH indicator on the EIS pages.
FFLOW GPH is shown as either a horizontal analog indicator or a
digital value, depending on the active EIS page.
FUEL CALCULATIONS
Fuel calculations do not use the airplane’s fuel quantity
indicators and are calculated from the last time the fuel was
reset.
For fuel consumption information, a fuel used totalizer function is
provided on the EIS SYSTEM page as GAL USED. This digital
indicator shows total fuel used since last reset of the totalizer. To reset
the GAL USED, the EIS SYSTEM page must be active and the RST
USED softkey must be selected. GAL USED is calculated after reset
using information from the fuel flow transducer signal.
For fuel remaining information, a count down fuel totalizer function is
provided on the EIS System page as GAL REM. This digital indicator
shows calculated fuel remaining since last GAL REM pilot adjustment.
To adjust GAL REM, the EIS SYSTEM page must be active and the
GAL REM softkey must be selected followed by the appropriate
quantity adjustment softkeys. Refer to the Garmin G1000 CRG for
details for resetting and adjusting fuel calculations. GAL REM is
calculated after pilot adjustment using information from the fuel flow
transducer signal.
GAL USED and GAL REM provide no indication of the
actual amount of fuel remaining in each tank and should
only be used in conjunction with other fuel management
procedures to estimate total fuel remaining.
