Engine Monitoring
Engine indicating consists of:
-
engine torque expressed in percent (%), TRQ
-
gas generator rotation speed expressed in percent (%), NG
-
inter turbine temperature expressed in °C, ITT
-
propeller speed in RPM, PROP RPM
-
oil pressure expressed in psi, OIL PSI
-
oil temperature expressed in °C, OIL °C
All these indications are merged in the Single Engine Indicator – refer to
Paragraph Single Engine Indicator
.
The monitoring is also ensured by CAS messages – refer to
.
Refer to the Garmin Pilot's Guide for further details.
Single Engine Indicator
See
.
The single engine indicator simplifies the monitoring of engine parameters:
-
TRQ, NG and ITT gauges are merged into one display window,
-
PROP RPM is always displayed with a digital indicator,
-
TRQ, NG and ITT indications have a dedicated tab.
At all times, only one indication has priority and is primarily displayed with an
analog gauge and associated digital information. The two other indications that do
not have priority are displayed only in the form of a digital information.
For each displayed parameter, the lower boundary of the yellow arc corresponds
to the maximum continuous limit, and the red line corresponds to the absolute
limit.
There is only one arc displayed at a time with either TRQ, NG or ITT. At all times
the digital value of TRQ, NG and ITT are displayed.
Indication priority depends on engine condition (i.e. engine OFF, engine starting,
engine running, engine shutdown or dry motoring) and parameter level (i.e.
normal, amber or red):
-
When the engine is OFF, during engine start and engine shutdown, the
primarily displayed indication is ITT,
