GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hi, In Wag's YouTube video on Datalink & SA Display, he says the number after the call sign is distance ( ) but later on in the video he says it is fuel state ( ). Which is correct? Thanks!

Jak525 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It's fuel. Range is underneath (under BRA, second value). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why no altitude info?

Emmy Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Isn’t BRA “Bearing, Range, Aspect (Hot/Cold)” ?

wolle Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Isn’t BRA “Bearing, Range, Aspect (Hot/Cold)” ? That's BRAA I think Bearing, Range, Altitude and Aspect. But anyway, is there a way of getting altitude info from the SA picture?

Ramsay Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 ... is there a way of getting altitude info from the SA picture?

In both video time stamps it's a friendly. So he made a mistake in the first time stamp when he said the number to the right of the call sign is distance. Am I right?
