1) Engine Gauges
MANIFOLD PRESSURE -
Displays current engine power in inches of mercury as
measured at the engine's induction system and reported by the DAU.
RPM -
Displays current engine speed in revolutions per minute as reported by the
DAU.
% POWER -
Indicates the current percent power being made by the engine. This
indication is calculated by the MFD based on interpolating Piper flight test data
using engine RPM, manifold pressure, outside air temperature, pressure altitude,
and Fuel Flow. Percent Power is limited between 50% and 85% on the Saratoga II-
TC and the Piper 6XT. Percent power is limited to 50% or 75% on the Saratoga II-
Hp and the Piper 6X.
OIL TEMP -
Displays the current engine oil temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as
reported by the DAU.
OIL PRESSURE-
Displays the current engine oil pres-
sure in pounds per square inch (PSI) as reported by the
DAU.
2) Electrical Gauges
ALT -
Indicates the amount of current in Amps being pro-
duced by the alternator as reported by the DAU.
VOLTS -
Indicates the current bus voltage in volts as
reported by the DAU.
BATT -
Indicates the amount of current in Amps being dis-
charged or charged fromor to the battery as reported by the
DAU.
3) Outside Air Temperature (OAT) -
Indicates the ambient air
temperature as reported by the Avidyne PFD. This will either
be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius as
selected by the pilot using the temperature units control.
4) Vacuum Pressure Gauge -
Indicates the current vacuum
pressure, used by the backup gauges, as reported by the
DAU. The Vacuum Pressure guage is an optional display
dependent on particular aircraft installation. If the aircraft does
not have a compatible vacuum system, the Vacuum Pressure
guage will not be displayed.
