905.1 Section 1 - General
Important The fuel computer MINIFLO-L does not replace the fuel
quantity gauges.
Note The fuel computer can measure fuel flow but not fuel
amount. It is thus unable to determine the amount of usable
fuel available in the tanks. It is, therefore, essential to
program the computer with the actual amount of usable fuel
in the tanks before each flight in order to ensure exact
information.
905.1.a In-Flight Modes
FUEL FLOW - current consumption
Fuel flow is shown continually in the left display.
ENDURANCE - remaining flight time
If the right knob is turned to “ENDURANCE” the remaining

amount of fuel consumed since the last setting will appear in the
right display.

amount of fuel currently available will appear in the right
