ENGINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
TERMINOLOGY
EGT The Exhaust Gas Temperature Indicator is
used to identify the lean and best-power
fuel flow mixtures for various power settings
during cruise.
Manifold
Pressure The regulated absolute air pressure in the
intake manifold of the engine located
between the throttle valve and the cylin-
ders.
Manifold
Pressure Gage Measures the absolute pressure in the
intake manifold of an engine, expressed in
inches of mercury (in.Hg).
Mixture Control Used to set fuel flow in all modes of opera-
tion, and to cut off fuel completely for
engine shutdown.
Propeller
Control Used to control the rpm setting of the pro-
peller governor. Movement of the control
results in an increase or decrease in prop
rpm.
Propeller
Governor Regulates the rpm of the engine/propeller
by increasing or decreasing the propeller
pitch through a pitch change mechanism in
the propeller hub.
Tachometer Indicates the rotational speed of the propel-
ler in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Throttle Control Used to control power by introducing fuel-
air mixture into the intake passages of an
engine. Settings are reflected by readings
on the manifold pressure gage.
