What is the FP-5L? This instrument is the industry’s premium digital fuel flow monitor. Many fuel flow monitors are either quick to respond and unstable, or stable but very sluggish in response to mixture control adjustments. The FP-5L uses special proprietary algorithms which enable the instrument to display fuel flow that is rock solid, yet responds instantly to the slightest mixture change.

Not only is the FP-5L an outstanding example of precision craftsmanship, but the flow transducers that provide the instrument with flow information are literally hand assembled by Electronics International’s skilled technicians, ensuring every component of the transducer is finely tuned and balanced. This kind of obsessive attention to quality is one of the many things that sets our company apart from the rest, and is the reason why our flow transducers are used throughout the aviation industry.

FP-5L Features

• Displays Gallons per Hour, Gallons Remaining, Gallons Used, Time to Empty, % Horsepower, Fuel to Destination*, Fuel Reserve*, Nautical Miles per Gallon* and Statute Miles per Gallon*.
• Four pilot-programmable fuel alarms.
• Optional Fuel Pressure Measurement is available with upper and lower alarms.

* Requires GPS input.

Fuel Flow

Accurate, stable fuel flow with a resolution of .1 GPH. Flow can be easily set to display in British Gallons, Lbs, Liters, or Gallons.

Horsepower

Horsepower is based on fuel flow, and is accurate up to the leaning process. This function can be set to read in percentage or raw Horsepower.

Fuel Remaining

The FP-5L calculates the fuel remaining in your tanks with a .1 Gallon resolution. Two programmable “Default Full Fuel” levels allow you to quickly reset the instrument to “Full” every time you fill your tanks. Alarms will alert you when you’ve reached programmed limits for remaining fuel.

Fuel Used

Fuel Used during the current flight, as well as fuel used since your fill up is kept track of to the tenth of a gallon.

Time to Empty

Time to Empty is based on Fuel Remaining and the current Fuel Flow. An alarm will alert you when you’ve reached a programmable limit.

Miles Per Gallon

Accurately keeps track of your gas mileage. This function can be displayed in Statute or Nautical Miles per Gallon.

Recurring Fuel Used Alarm

The Recurring Fuel Used Alarm can be set for any whole number of gallons used, alerting you to change tanks at a programmable interval of gallons used. This is an excellent tool for fuel tank management.

Fuel Pressure

Optional Fuel Pressure Measurement is available with upper and lower alarms depending on your chosen package.
