CS-VLA 1305  Powerplant instruments

ED Decision 2003/18/RM

The following are required powerplant instruments:

(a)                            A fuel quantity indicator for each fuel tank. (See AMC VLA 1305(a));

(b)                            An oil pressure indicator or a low oil pressure warning for the engine except for engines with no oil pressure systems and for the super charger oil system if it is separate from other oil systems;

(c)                            An oil temperature indicator except for two-stroke engines;

(d)                            A tachometer;

(e)                            A cylinder head temperature indicator for each air cooled engine with cowl flaps;

(f)                             A fuel pressure indicator or a low fuel pressure warning for pump-fed engines;

(g)                            A manifold pressure indicator for an engine with variable pitch propeller, or supercharger;

(h)                            An oil quantity indicator for each tank, e.g. dipstick;

(i)                             For supercharger installations, if limitations are established for either carburettor air inlet temperature or exhaust gas temperature, indicators must be furnished for each temperature for which the limitation is established unless it is shown that the limitation will not be exceeded in all intended operations; and

(j)                             A coolant temperature indicator for liquid-cooled engines.
