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…

Difference Between EDM-350 and EDM-730
Confused between EDM 350 and EDM 730? Here a comparison between the two to help you select the most suitable EDM for your needs and your aircraft. Both these Engine data managers are manufactured by J.P. Instruments, USA, the EDM 350 is for experimental aircraft only. Both these Engine data managers provide the aircraft maintenance…
Manifold Pressure Sensor in Aircraft
What the heck is it, and what are its advantages? Manifold Pressure (usually referred to as ‘MAP’), is the amount of pressure entering the aircraft engine (or any combustible engine), cylinders. Manifold pressure is measured in between the throttle valve and the intake manifold of the engine. Now, let us assume the aircraft is parked…
What is Manifold Pressure Sensor in Aircraft?
Although it’s technically termed as aircraft manifold pressure monitoring, the word “pressure” in this case, is a bit of a misnomer. This is because the aircraft manifold pressure data is not about pressure but suction. The cylinders in any aircraft engine are like a large suction pump because the cylinders are constantly sucking air into…
