Page |2 Power Plant Instruments : 1. Tachometer to measure the rotational speed of a crankshaft or a compressor as appropriate to the type of power plant. 2. Cylinder-head temperature indicator for an air-cooled engine to indicate the temperature of the hottest cylinder. 3. Carburettor intake air temperature indicator. 4. Oil temperature indicator to show the oil inlet and/or outlet temperature. 5. For turbojet and turbo propeller engines a temperature indicator to indicate whether the turbine or exhaust gas temperature is maintained within its limitations. 6. Fuel-pressure indicator to indicate pressure at which fuel is being supplied and a means for warning of low pressure. 7. Oil-pressure indicator to indicate pressure at which oil is being supplied to a lubricating system and a means for warning of low pressure. 8. Manifold pressure gauge for a supercharged engine. 9. Fuel-quantity indicator to indicate in gallons or equivalent units the quantity of usable fuel in each tank during flight. Indicators shall be calibrated to read zero during cruising level flight, when the quantity of fuel remaining is equal to the unusable fuel, i.e. the amount of fuel remaining when, under the most adverse conditions, the first evidence of malfunctioning of an engine occurs. 10. Fuel-flow indicator for turbojet and turbo propeller engines. For piston engines not equipped with an automatic mixture control a fuel flow meter or fuel lair ratio indicator. 11. Thrust indicator for a turbojet engine. 12. Torque indicator for a turbo propeller engine.
