One of the finest EGT Gauge Systems for aircraft is manufactured by California based J.P. Instruments and branded as the ‘Classic Scanner’ – an EGT gauge that is perfect for any plane and especially for those pilots with a smaller budget. The Classic Scanner EGT Gauge features a large red LED display readout of the…

EGT CHT Gauge – Primarily Designed For Aircraft
Granted that Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) and Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) have applications in auto industry, the sensor probes and instruments designed to capture and display these temperatures were primarily designed for use in aircraft. The Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor or probe is placed in each exhaust pipe of the aircraft, roughly 4 to…
How Does Aircraft Engine Monitoring Works?
Air travel is considered to be one of the safe modes of transport. And, we owe this safety to the aircraft engine monitoring system that is constantly keeping tabs on the functioning of the aircraft’s engines. Even a small anomaly is displayed on the monitors so that the pilots or the engineers may take corrective…
Use of CHT and EGT Gauges and Monitors
Just so we are on the same page, CHT stands for Cylinder Head Temperature and EGT stands for Exhaust Gas Temperature and in the case of this article, these refer to the aircraft engine cylinder and aircraft engine exhaust gases (same terminology is also used in high-performance cars). Before we get on to the use…
Aircraft Engine Monitoring
When the passengers are informed that an aircraft cannot take off due to technical reasons, it usually means that the airline not only has to have the aircraft towed away for expensive emergency repairs, it has to make alternate arrangements to fly the passengers maybe even provide accommodation and food while the passengers are waiting.…
Sensing and the Display Mechanism of Aircraft Sensor Systems
Ever since humans have learnt to fly, aircraft technology has taken giant leaps and continues to advance even further. Today, the pilot knows just about everything that is happening in the plane – from the cockpit to the aircraft tail and everything in between and have that information thanks to sensing systems installed in the…
