Engine Instruments - Engine Page
The MFD Engine page is used to display the health and performance status of the
aircraft engine. Most of the engine indications are transmitted to the MFD via a
remotely mounted engine data acquisition unit (DAU) while the remainder are
calculated by the FlightMax EX5000.
The Engine page is divided into four main sections plus an OAT gauge:
1) Gauges -
Provides dial and numeric readouts of Manifold Pressure, RPM, Percent
Power, Oil Temperature, and Oil Pressure.
2) Electrical -
Monitors electrical bus voltage and alternator output current.
3) OAT -
Monitors the outside air temperature (OAT).
4) Fuel -
Provides Fuel Quantity, Fuel Flow, Fuel Used, Fuel Remaining, Time
Remaining, and Fuel Economy.
5) Cylinder Temperatures -
Full display of Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) and
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) for all cylinders.
Engine Instruments - Cautions and Warnings
- In order to assist the pilot in
monitoring engine health, the MFD will highlight any engine parameters that are not
within normal operating conditions. “Caution zone” readings will cause the appropriate
numeric indicator to turn yellow while “Warning zone” readings will cause a red indica-
tion. To supplement aircraft cockpit annunciators, the warning zone engine parameter
conditions trigger a message to be displayed in a message bar on the bottom of the
MFD screen, if the condition persists for greater than 5 seconds (10 seconds for TIT).
Acknowledging the message will take the user to the Engine Page, if not already dis-
played. The message bar will be removed automatically if the cautionary condition
goes away. See page 42 for the Engine cautions message.
