HUGS: Setting Units

[mcnobody 172]

Hello.Just a short question; is it possible to select the units in the HUGS panel? So far I was only able to enter FEET indicated by the ' symbol. Flying mostly in Europe some charts only show metric values for the runway length. I don't have a problem converting these values, but it would make life a bit easier resp. faster :( .Is this something planned for a future Service Pack?Best regards,

Hello,You have the direct runway length in feet in the CDU Approach page after you have selected the runway of course.For the altitude type in the ICAO code of the airport in the nav data page...Hope this help, no need to convert...Regards,Richard Portier

Hi Richard,thanks for the info, I was aware of that and it even came to my mind a few seconds after pressing post. I am just wondering if they are going to add the metric system. I stumbled across it in a manual of the HUGS which was linked here in the forums once.kind regards,

unless i am missing something, personally i see no benefit to entering the runway length right now, as the HUGS does not, at the moment, give you the "runway length remaining" readout on landing.

I believe the runway length is to ensure you have the correct runway edge overlays.
