Default value

Enter the value used to prefill this variable for takeoff. You can set up a default if a variable usually takes the same value. The default ensures that a value is provided at takeoff and saves time by letting you skip a variable unless you need to change its default.

Tips:  

  • If you leave this field blank, YES is the default for a YES/NO variable and 0.00 is the default for other variables.
  • To require an entry for the variable during takeoff, enter a default that is outside the specified minimum and maximum for that variable. This prevents someone from accepting the default or previous value by mistake.
  • The default remains in effect until changed. To reset the defaults in the takeoff window, right-click the variable pane and select Clear Variables.
