AVIATION MODE PAGES > FLIGHT LOG Position Data Page Options With the Position Data Page open, press MENU to open the options menu. You can set up the layout of the page and change the data fields. For an explanation of the data fields, refer to page 112 in the "Appendix." You can also select one of the following options: Reset Trip-clears trip information, except the maximum speed and the odometer. Reset Max Speed-clears the maximum speed. Reset Odometer-clears the running total of the distance traveled since the odometer was last reset. Reset All-clears all trip information including the maximum speed and odometer. Flight Log The Flights tab shows a list of any recorded flights, including date, route of flight, and flight time. The GPSMAP 196 saves up to 50 recorded flights while in Aviation Mode. Entries on this list are automatically created for each flight. The bottom of the Flights tab shows the time of your last flight. This resets if you select All Unit Defaults from the System tab options menu. An optional FlightBook software package is available to further simplify your flight record keeping. For details about FlightBook, visit the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/aviation. Viewing the Flight Log Recording begins when your speed exceeds 30 knots and you gain 500 feet of altitude. The Route of Flight field uses the nearest airport as the departure airport. The destination airport is continuously updated as your flight progresses. If you land and groundspeed drops below 30 knots, the flight entry is saved and a new entry is recorded when you depart the airport. A touch-and-go or brief stop of less than 10 minutes appends to the current flight record, rather than starting a new entry. Select any listed entry in the log to view additional information. 42 GPSMAP 196 Pilot's Guide
