If the current total weight of the aircraft exceeds the maximum weight, the “CG,” “Total,” and “Diff” displayed values
will be shown in Red. If the current “CG” for the aircraft is outside the CG envelope and the current weight of the
aircraft is less than the maximum weight, only the “CG” value will be shown in Red.
You may view a graph of your aircraft’s current center-of-gravity and weight by selecting “View CG Limit Graph”
located at the bottom of the screen.
Important Note: As pilot in command it is your responsibility to ensure that the weight and balance of the aircraft
are within the limits designated by the aircraft’s POH. Do not rely solely on the MVP to determine whether or not
the aircraft is weighted properly.
4.8 “Checklist” Screens:
The Checklist is your most valuable tool to insure a safe flight. It is easy to miss a critical step in any phase of the
flight (latch the canopy, richen the mixture, push in carb heat, drop the landing gear, select the mains, etc.). Every
checklist for your aircraft (standard and emergency) can be installed into the MVP and then recalled by the pilot at a
moment’s notice.
The MVP is capable of storing up to 50 custom Checklists. Three
Checklists can be open and activate at any one time. A Checklist
can be as long or as short as you need it to be. When a Checklist
is too long to fit entirely on the blue screen, simply rotate the Select
knob downward and the screen will scroll upward, revealing the
rest of the checklist.
What makes the MVP’s Checklists so powerful is the fact that they
are interactive. Next to each item is a “check” box. The Select
knob allows you to enter an “X” in the box next to each item, or
remove an “X” from a box if one is already there. Putting an “X”
into a box will move the arrow to the next box. You may choose to
skip any item in the Checklist by simply rotating the Select knob
past the item.
The MVP will always remember where you’re at in any Checklist. You can leave a Checklist screen at any time to
view other screens and the MVP will remember your place. When you return to the Checklist, you will be on the
same line as when you left it.
Opening a New Checklist: A new Checklist may be opened in place of the one displayed by pushing the Menu
button while viewing the Checklist to be replaced, rotating the Select knob to select the new Checklists and pressing
the Select knob to select and display the new Checklists.
Creating a Checklist: A custom Checklist may be created in Word, WordPad, Notepad or most any text editor.
See “Creating a Checklist, Flight Plan or General Information File” in the Appendix section of this manual.
Reading a Checklist from a USB Data Stick: A Checklist may be read from a USB Data Stick and stored into
MVP memory by pushing the Menu button while viewing a Checklist, rotating the Select knob to select “Read Files
From USB” near the bottom of the screen and pressing the Select knob to perform this function.
