Abstract
Thank you for purchasing an ELITE product. Since ELITE was rst introduced, each version has incorpo-
rated suggestions and ideas from our customers  student and academic general aviation and professional.
Through valuable customer feedback we were able to constantly enhance ELITE's PC-based simulation soft-
ware, so please let us know what you think of your ELITE product.
ELITE (ELectronic IFR Training Environment) is a software that allows you to use your personal computer
to replicate the instrument panel, avionics and ight aerodynamics of specic aircraft to practice all proce-
dures and simulate elements of ight under instrument meteorological conditions.
This Aircraft Module Overview is to give an insight of the options and training possibility that each ELITE
aircraft oers. It also includes parts of each aircraft's checklist.
If you have any questions or run into some trouble, please feel free to check out ELITE's Help and Learning
Center or to reach out to our Technical Support team.

1.1.1 Cockpit Functions
Archer Carb Heat Lever
The carburetor heat function may be operated by us-
ing the mouse or through use of several other mech-
anisms which may be assigned on the Conguration
Page.
Note: Due to FAA regulation changes the amber light on the Annunciator Panel labelled PITOT HEAT
OFF/INOP will remain illuminated. Selecting pitot heat "On" will extinguish the light.

Archer CH Choice
In the Instrument Conguration column go to the Carburetor Heat
item and select the appropriate choice. Selecting Gear Handle will
cause the landing gear control to operate the carburetor heat func-
tion. Moving the landing gear handle to the UP position will cause
the carburetor heat to be OFF. The carburetor heat will be ON when
the landing gear lever is in the DOWN position. Selecting CHT Han-
dle will activate the carburetor heat control found on some consoles
manufactured by Precision Flight Controls. Selecting the Carb Heat
Quadr./Throttle Lever option will cause the throttle lever to control
the carburetor heat function while the propeller and mixture levers will
operate the throttle and mixture controls respectively.
