UNITS USED IN THE MANUAL
For safety reason, this manual uses the following philosophy:
•
The same units as the ones that can be read on any of the S201
instruments and equipment are used in this Manual. They are expressed
in one unit system only, imperial OR metric :
➢
Imperial System: Altitude in feet, Speed in knots, Climb speed in feet
per minute, Engine Manifold Pressure (MAP) in in.Hg, Engine/Propeller
Rotation speed in RPM (revolution per minute), Oil and Fuel pressures
in psi, Distance in Nm.
➢
Metric system: Fuel quantity in liters, Temperatures in °C (degree
Celsius), tyre pressure in bar.
•
Other units than the ones that can be read on instruments and equipment,
like mass, can be expressed in both metric AND imperial systems except
for Mass and Balance sheet where only one unit system is used.
