G1000 Trip Stats on AUX Page

Post by Leemar »

I fly a 2007 Diamond DA40 with the G1000. I’m an IFR rated pilot and use the FPL functionality all the time. Until very recently, the Trip Stats section of Page 1 in AUX showed me estimated ETA information to my destination, with and without planned Arrival and Approach Procedures. For some obscure reason that I have not been able to determine, the Trip Stats no longer display on the AUX page 1.
Any thoughts as to why that might be.

Maybe it's evaluated your flying and is unsure of a successful arrival at all :)

2 possibilities I can think of:
First, if you have started entering flight plans in the air once departed instead of on the ground, it does not enter the "origin" location and none of the stats work, unless you go back and manually enter the origin location.
Second, I forgot the exact names, but in the top middle of the page there is something like "flight leg mode", which can get switched between cumulative and present position.

Went flying yesterday and resolved my Trip Stats display issue. The problem was that the FPL softkey at the bottom of AUX page 1 was not activated. As I expected, operator error. Activated PFL and Trip Stats display properly.
Slightly embarrassed!
