edwardc Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If I am flying from a field and returning to the same field I use the 'man overboard, setting before I take off and then the compass becomes a direction indicator. I have speed, altitude, time elapsed, distance to destination, time set, that way I always know how much fuel I am using and if I can get back to the field (and what direction it is in). If I am doing x/country I just set it to the destination reference. Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmpatanis Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hello,can you explain how understand how fuel do you burn and if can feturn to the field??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardc Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I fly a PAP1250 and I allow 1 hour flying for 5 litres of fuel which gives me a decent reserve. If you reset the Garmin and set the 'man overboard' setting (hold down the 'find button for a couple of seconds) you will always know where the field is, in which direction and how far away, you can then use your ground speed to work out how long it will take to get back.

edwardc Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Press the 'find' button and hold it for a couple of seconds and it will ask you if you want to set the man overboard. Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardc Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The Garmin will give you your maximum speed and average speed, does it match the leonardo information? I am not sure if it is the Garmin or Leonardo that is giving the false speed reading. Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmpatanis Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 How i can fix it what i must change or to look in my gps or Leonardo?? All my flights have got the same problems, a very high speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi eddie I am thinking about getting a 60csx how do you find it??? easy to use does it have all the functions you need? you did you go for this one over the the 60 cs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardc Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Not sure about the others but the 60csx does everything that I want it to and I use it with memory-map so I can put routes on for XC flights or download tracks at the end of the day. Will be at the Essex fly in if you want to have a play, are you going? regards Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
