typicAl pt6A engine instrumentAtion
Incorporated into the design of the PT6A engine are accurate and reliable
torque and ITT measuring systems that give the pilot an accurate
indication of the primary engine operating parameters.
Torque Pressure is sensed by a torque pressure transducer mounted on the
reduction gearbox, to indicate the torque being developed by the engine.
Torque is the primary parameter used to set power for takeoff and cruise
operation for specified propeller speeds.
ITT is monitored to ensure that combustion gas temperature limits of the
engine are not exceeded.
Two tachometer-generators are installed on the engine: one on the
reduction gearbox monitors propeller speed (Np), and the other on the
accessory gearbox monitors gas generator speed, (Ng).
Pressure and temperature gauges monitor the oil system.
