6 Traffic ADSB traffic may be displayed in V4.0 It requires a WiFi enabled DIY ADSB Receiver (* see web address below for more details) It is receive only that is, there is not reporting of your position Other commercial ADSB receivers may be supported in the future * The App does work with the Zaon MX-1090 (with WiFi serial out option), but unfortunately Zaon seems to have gone out of business just as we released our traffic mode.

7 Traffic To enable, you first connect to the ADSB unit via the WiFi settings in the Settings page on the ipad (see next page) You can check for correct WiFi connectivity by selecting SSID in the GPS HUD it should show ads-pi Once enabled, traffic aircraft show up on the main map display

19 Fuel Tables In v4.0 you can enter a fuel table Primarily, this is used with aircraft with a complex fuel system where the CofG changes with fuel load But, you can use with a conventional aircraft.

20 Fuel Tables To Start Turn on in Preferences Tap Here, but remember once you are in fuel table mode, the App will expect to see all fuel as fuel tables. To get back to normal just deselect Use Fuel Tables

21 Fuel Tables Next select your aircraft If no fuel table is set you will see this warning not to worry see the next slides.

22 Fuel Tables Then select the W&B profile you want to change You will see this popup tap yes to create an initial fuel table. Don t worry, creating the fuel table doesn t change any other thing in the aircraft and even if you decide to go back to no fuel tables the presence of the table will be remembered but not used.

23 Fuel Tables Scroll to the bottom of the screen You will see a default fuel table at the bottom of the page under the Lateral Envelope which will also have been inserted (you can ignore this if you don t use the lateral W&B). The default entry uses the sum of all fuel tanks and the average of the moment arms for each fuel tank. Now you can tap Edit and add/edit more fuel table entries as needed. After you have added the number of entries you require you can tap Edit again to finish adding entries. You can still edit the contents.

24 Fuel Tables A portion of a complex fuel table The simplest fuel table has two entries, the full fuel amount and arm and the empty fuel arm (and amount presumably close to zero if not zero for this App should be set to zero, don t get tricky!). Complex fuel tables such as that to the left involve a number of entries (often 10 s if not 100 s). Be patient and enter these archive them when you are finished.

25 Fuel Tables Complex example of a fuel table used in plan In this example there is a critical forward point in the envelope.
