December 16, 200223 yr Hello,I am looking for a gauge that shows the total distance flown in miles? Acts like trip odometer..Is there any gauge that you can direct me to?Thanks!Brian
December 16, 200223 yr Nope, not directly unless you have some fancy GPS. In a car everything is driven by miles you drove (oil changes, tune-ups, other services, blue-book value, etc) in a plane it is how many hours you put on the engine, airframe. So there gauges that tell you hobbs or tach time accumulated - effectively how long engine was running. This is the key number for both owners and mechanics.Michael J.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg Michael J.
December 16, 200223 yr I understand but is it possible if anyone can create it?I like to see how many hours the engine been running for and the distance that I have flown. When I see distance from point A to point B, it shows the distance but I know I fly more than the distance shown directly from point A to B.I have no experience on creating new gauges. Can someone help me with this?Thanks,Brian
