Smashy Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 When the MODE button is pressed once, "SP" along with 3 digits is displayed. I've only seen "888" on the first press. If "QTY" or the up arrow button is pressed, the number cycle through different values. What does "SP" mean and what do the various values that cycle though indicate?

=Panther= Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I can answer that QTY cycles through the fuel tanks and their quantity. Image from Chuck’s Guide.

Shimmergloom667 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The MODE button is used to set the clock and time zone in the IFEI.

Wroblowaty Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 After first press of MODE button you enter "Service mode", second press gets you to time and date settings. However i do not know any details regarding service mode functions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashy Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just now, Wroblowaty said: After first press of MODE button you enter "Service mode", second press gets you to time and date settings. However i do not know any details regarding service mode functions. Ah, thanks. I don't think my post was very clear as the responses from @=Panther= and @Shimmergloom667 did not address my actual question. I already understand about cycling through tanks and setting date/clock/TZ. What I was trying to figure out was what "SP" signified and the various numbers that are displayed next to "SP" when you press QTY or up arrow after MODE is pushed a single time. It seems like this is something that is cosmetically implemented but has no real impact on operation of the plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution mongo52 Posted May 11, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) SP means you are looking at the MSP codes (troubleshooting codes basically). The code 888 is used as a test for the display inside the nose wheel well to show that all segments of the lights are working.
