7-3.15. Engine Gauge Inspection
CAUTION: Inaccurate aircraft engine related gauges can cause
operation outside of engine certification and specification limits and
can lead to decreased cylinder life. Aircraft gauge calibration
errors can be particularly harmful for high horsepower engines.
Gauges may require re-marking for modified (STC) engines.
Significant aircraft engine gauge inaccuracies can lead to engine
damage.
Purpose
Verify proper gauge operation and ensure reliable condition feedback to the pilot.
Frequency
•
During 100-hour or annual inspections.
Procedure
Verify that the following indicators are working properly according to the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual. Repair or replace faulty components.
•
Tachometer
•
Manifold pressure gauge
•
Fuel flow gauge
•
Oil pressure gauge
•
Oil temperature gauge
•
Cylinder head temperature gauge
•
Exhaust gas temperature gauge
NOTE: Verify the accuracy of the EGT/TIT system. The aircraft
manufacturer may require EGT/TIT reporting be operational for all
categories of flight. Consult the Aircraft Maintenance Manual for
interval and operational requirements. In many cases, EGT/TIT
calibration is a100-hour inspection requirement.
