System Info Sub-State Displays
The system information Sub-State displays show information and
settings pertaining to the NMS (Navigation Management System).
Date/Time (UTC)
The screen below is used to display and edit the current time/date. The
NMC uses a 24 hour real-time clock to calculate ETA (Estimated Time of
Arrival). Also, GPS sensors require the current UTC (Universal
Coordinated Time—formally called Greenwich Mean Time) to locate
satellites and determine position. In this example the current UTC is
15:14, and the date is February 11, 1999.

Fuel Measure Units
The screen below is used to choose the measurement units used in fuel
data displays. The system must be interfaced with a F/ADS (Fuel/Air
Data Sensor) or a fuel flow sensor to measure actual fuel flow. Estimated
fuel data, which does not require an F/ADS or fuel flow sensor, may be
displayed for inactive flight plans in FPL mode. Measurement units
available include: US gallons, Imperial gallons, Liters, Pounds, and Kilos.
In this example, fuel is measured in US Gallons.
