ENGINE INDICATION SYSTEM
6.3 DA40D
ENGINE PAGE
Atop all three pages are two round dial gauges for en-
gine load and revolutions per minute (RPM). Beneath
those gauges is a digital readout for fuel flow. Below the
fuel flow readout are horizontal bar indicators for oil tem-
perature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel tempera-
ture and fuel quantity.
Engine Load Indicator
The Engine Load indicator displays the current engine
load as a percentage. Numeric labels and tick marks are
shown at intervals of 20 percent. The scale ranges from 0 to
100 percent. There is one green color band on the Engine
Load indicator.
Tachometer
The Tachometer displays propeller speed in revolu-
tions per minute (RPM). The scale ranges from 0 to 3,000
RPM with numeric labels and tick marks shown at inter-
vals of 600 RPM.
The Tachometer indications follow propeller speed in-
formation provided by the FADEC. The overspeed warn-
ing is a visual annunciation which consists of the tachom-
eter digital reading and units flashing white text on a red
background then red text on a white background.
• White – Below normal operating range.
• Green – Normal operating range.
• Yellow – Caution range.
• Red – Indicates engine overspeed.
Fuel Flow GPH Indicator
The Fuel Flow indicator is a digital readout which dis-
plays current fuel flow in gallons per hour (GPH) and has
no color bands.

temperature.
• Green – Normal

sure.

Coolant Temperature Indicator
The Coolant Temperature indicator displays the tem-
perature of the engine coolant.
• Green – Normal
• Yellow – Caution (low and high)
• Red – Warning (minimum and maximum)
Fuel Temperature Indicator
The Fuel Temperature indicator displays the fuel tem-
perature.
• Green – Normal
• Yellow – Caution (low and high)
• Red – Warning (minimum and maximum)
