ENGINE PAGE
Atop all three pages are two round dial gauges for en-
gine load and revolutions per minute (RPM). Beneath
those gauges is a digital readout for fuel flow. Below the
fuel flow readout are horizontal bar indicators for oil tem-
perature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel tempera-
ture and fuel quantity.
Engine Load Indicator
The Engine Load indicator displays the current engine
load as a percentage. Numeric labels and tick marks are
shown at intervals of 20 percent. The scale ranges from 0 to
100 percent. There is one green color band on the Engine
Load indicator.
Tachometer
The Tachometer displays propeller speed in revolu-
tions per minute (RPM). The scale ranges from 0 to 3,000
RPM with numeric labels and tick marks shown at inter-
vals of 600 RPM.
The Tachometer indications follow propeller speed in
-
formation provided by the FADEC. The overspeed warn-
