The aircraft Engine Data Manager 760 (EDM 760), essentially consists of two parts – the display and the probes. While the display goes into the cockpit (obviously), the probes are attached to various parts of aircraft engine (or fuselage) depending on the nature of the probe. Each of these EGT Probe is in turn connected…
CHT Probes Used In Aircraft
A CHT probe is used to obtain temperature data of the part of the engine in which the CHT probe is installed. A CHT probe is a thermocouple type probe – meaning, two different metals that react to heat, are joint together. When heated, a tiny voltage (millivolts), is generated. As the heat increases, so…
Aircraft’s Fuel Scan 450 Twin and its Awesome Benefits
The JPI manufactured fuel scan 450 Twin is one of the finest fuel management system for piston engine aircraft that money can buy. For the pilot, the fuel scan 450 can be his personal flight engineer; always there working in the background constantly monitoring the fuel consumption while the pilot concentrates and enjoys the flight.…
What Everyone Must Know About Manifold Pressure Sensor
To the un-initiated, a manifold pressure (MAP), refers to the amount of air in Pounds per square inch entering the aircraft engine i.e. the cylinders. This is a critical parameter for a variety of reasons. The point of manifold pressure is the throttle valve and the intake manifold of the engine. If we assume that…
