Fuel Computer
The Fuel Computer is a built-in feature which monitors fuel consumption as determined by an
optional fuel flow sensor and maintains continuously updated dual engine monitoring.
For aircraft with two engines, SkyView can be configured to monitor both engines when two
SV-EMS-220/221 modules are installed. The flow-based fuel computer feature can be
configured in one of two ways:
• In one configuration, it will totalize all fuel and usage throughout the aircraft – as you’d
want when there is a single combined fuel system in the aircraft.
• Alternatively, it can compute each engine’s fuel totals and usage quantities separately,
as you’d want if each engine were served by a completely independent fuel system.
In either case, the instantaneous fuel flow reading will be indicative of the current fuel usage of
the corresponding engine. The following info items will either be based on either the total fuel
in the aircraft or the total fuel per fuel system: Fuel Remaining, Fuel Used, Fuel Efficiency, Fuel
at Waypoint, Destinationand Range values.
In a dual engine system, the following timers are running when either engine is running: Run
Time, Total Air Time, Trip Run, Air Trip, and Air Timer. However, the Hobbs and Tach timers are
tied to the individual engine.
See the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation Guide for more details on setup and
configuration of dual engine monitoring.
By using the fuel flow sensor data and GPS information together, SkyView can generate and
display different info items that pertain to your aircraft’s computed fuel state and performance.
They are available for placement on the Engine Pages via the Screen Layout Editor. For more
information regarding the Screen Layout Editor, reference the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System
Installation Guide.
values are not directly measured. These values are calculated based upon
measured flow rates and user input of fuel quantity. Do not use these values as
primary indicators.

The Fuel Remaining info item (displayed as FUEL REM) displays the current amount of fuel
computed on board, based on your input of the aircraft’s starting fuel state and the amount of
fuel that has the fuel flow sensor has seen flow through it.
The Fuel Used info item (displayed as GALS USED) displays the amount of fuel that has been
used during your flight. Note that Fuel Used resets itself when the unit detects that oil pressure
