counts clockwise from zero as the aircraft climbs, and counts<br />
counter-clockwise as the aircraft descends.<br />

numeric indicators show the total fuel remaining<br />
(internal and external), the fuel remaining in the<br />
left wing tank, and the fuel remaining in the right<br />
wing tank. All three displays measure the<br />
remaining fuel in pounds.<br />
