...
Today, however, and for
the first time ever,
none of the above made
me sweat our fuel
situation. Indeed,
little should in the
future, thanks to our
new FS-450 fuel
tantalizer from J.P. Instruments (JPI). JPI's newest
piece of panel wizardry
relegates fuel-situation
questions to relics of
the past. From its new
home between the top row
of flight instruments
and the top of avionics
stack, the FS-450blinked and
winked the numbers to
answer all my
fuel-situation
questions.
Connected to our
Honeywell Skymap IIIC,
the FS-450 happily
winked and blinked its
way through its
information inventory
and left me as relaxed
as any
fat-dumb-and-happy
aviator should get —
minus the "dumb" part of
the equation, of course.
Heavy-duty information
and a light-duty price;
could you want more?
Sure, easy installation
would be nice, something
JPI also covered.

.J.P. Instruments now has two different models of fuel flow available:
For those who want all the great functions of an EDM, plus fuel flow, there is:
There's another new addition to the JPI line of aviation products. Pilots have been requesting Fuel Flow as a feature on the EDM, and we listened! Now, when you lean your engine, the EDM-700 will not only find the first cylinder to peak, but can simultaneously display fuel flow in gallons per hour as well!
This means that as the EGT increases, the fuel flow will decrease, enabling the pilot to check the fuel flow at different "rich of peak" settings." During the leaning process, the fuel flow reading must be updated rapidly in order to keep up with the 20% change in fuel burned from "peak" EGT to 50 degrees "rich of peak." J.P.I's quick response electronics not only handles this, but does it 10 times faster than the competition! Don't be worried about having to much data to deal with, because the EDM can be set to monitor EGT or fuel flow only, or both simultaneously.
The pilot can also tag display settings, so that they are showing only when recalled. Also the EDM stores data in nonvolatile memory, which is not affected by power shut down.
Overall, we think that you'll agree that this package is nothing less than the BEST AVAILABLE on the market. Take some time to assess the competition and then get the most out of your money and give us a call.
Fuel Used (USD)
Fuel remaining (REM)
Hours and minutes remaining (H.M.)
How much fuel has been used since you last
refueled. This number will always become larger
as fuel is consumed. You can instead show the
fuel used on a long multi-fuel stop flight and
we will see later in this video how to do that.
How much total fuel remains in the aircraft. Only total fuel
remaining in the aircraft is calculated.
Based on the current fuel flow rate, displays
the remaining endurance time. This parameter is
most meaningful during cruise. During sea-level
climb the fuel flow rate will be almost twice
that of cruise and the endurance indication will
be about half of actual. On the other hand,
during a power reduction descent, the endurance
will indicate more time than is actually
available when flying at cruise power.
Fuel Required to Waypoint/
Destination (REQ)
Fuel Reserve (RES)
This parameter will be displayed only if
your EDM is receiving flight
data from your GPS (this is a standard feature which is included with the Fuel Flow option). This will tell you
how much fuel is required to get to the
next waypoint or destination programmed
on your GPS, based on your current fuel
flow rate and present position.
Fuel reserve when you arrive at your
next waypoint. This parameter will be displayed only if
your EDM is receiving flight
data from your GPS (this is a standard feature which is included with the Fuel Flow option).
This will tell you how much fuel reserve
you can expect when you arrive at your
next waypoint or destination programmed
on your GPS, at the current fuel flow
rate.
THE
EDM 760
Now even twin engine
aircraft owners can take
advantage of the legendary
EDM systems. With the EDM
760 the pilot can monitor
both engines simultaneously
on one 3 1/8th gage.
