Definition
indication of the capability to provide accessible energy for safe flight and landing before the corresponding end point condition of an energy storage system (ESS) (3.1.69) is met
NOTE 1 Provides a comparison of continuously observed measurements from battery sensors to the expected values during the flight.
NOTE 2 Utilizes multiple inputs; examples include battery cell (3.1.26) state of charge (SOC) (3.1.126) cell temperature and cell current.
NOTE 3 SOF is one of the measures used to provide an indication to crew of the current status of the energy storage system (ESS) (3.1.69) in order to allow an understanding of the remaining flight time and/or flight range.
