The fuel remaining displayed by the FP-5L is not a measurement of the fuel in the tanks. It is
an amount calculated from the starting fuel level you programmed into the FP-5L, minus the fuel used while
the engine was running. When properly calibrated, the FP-5L can accurately measure the fuel used. It is
imperative the pilot verify the calibration of the FP-5L over many tanks of fuel before using the
"REM" and/or "USED" Modes as an indication of the fuel in the tanks or fuel used. Even after
verifying the calibration of the FP-5L it should never be used as the primary indicator of fuel
quantity in the tanks. It is important the pilot visually check/measure the fuel quantity for each
tank before takeoff and cross-check these readings against the Fuel Level Gauges and the FP-5L.
The FP-5L reminds you to do this by blinking the “REM” LED and displaying the current fuel remaining in
the tanks each time the aircraft power is turned on. Also, it is important the pilot use preflight and
flight planning techniques, in accordance with the FAR's, which will help insure the proper
amount of fuel for the intended flight is on board the aircraft before takeoff.
While in flight the FP-5L readings should only be used to crosscheck fuel level gauges,
calculations of the fuel onboard from flow rates specified in the specification for your aircraft and
calculations of the fuel onboard from flow rates that you measured from previous flights. The use
of the FP-5L does not eliminate or reduce the necessity for the pilot to use good flight planning,
preflight and in-flight techniques for managing fuel. If you are not familiar with these techniques,
contact the FAA to acquire proper training.
Before leaning your engine you must verify your horsepower is correct with engine operation
charts from the engine and/or aircraft manufacturer to insure you do not cause detonation and
engine damage.
It is possible for any instrument to fail thereby displaying inaccurate high, low or jumpy readings.
Therefore, you must be able to recognize an instrument failure and you must be proficient in operating your
aircraft safely in spite of an instrument failure. If you do not have this knowledge, contact the FAA or a
local flight instructor for training. Also, the ability for this product to detect a problem is directly related to
the pilot's ability to program proper limits and the pilot's interpretation and observation skills.
