ENGINE INSTRUMENTS
Primary engine indications are continuously displayed on the upper portion of the
MFD. Secondary engine indications are also continuously displayed on the upper
portion of the MFD during engine start and normal steady state engine operation. The
secondary engine indications are also displayed on the engine synoptic page.

The current level is indicated by a digital readout or by a moving tape gauge and a
digital readout.
Each tape gauge display has an adjacent tape showing operating limits in green
(normal), amber (caution), and red (limit exceeded).
The digital display and the moving tape change color as the value increases—white
(normal), amber (caution), or red (limit exceeded). If a limit is exceeded, a CAS
message appears.
All primary engine instruments are fully redundant. The circuits that control and
monitor primary engine parameters are duplicated to reduce the possibility of a
hardware failure causing the pilot to receive misleading or no information about
engine status.
