CS 27.1141 Powerplant controls: general ED Decision 2003/15/RM (a) Powerplant controls must be located and arranged under [CS 27.777](#_DxCrossRefBm472493360) and marked under [CS 27.1555](#_DxCrossRefBm472493381). (b) Each flexible powerplant control must be approved.

(d) Controls of powerplant valves required for safety must have: (1) For manual valves, positive stops or in the case of fuel valves suitable index provisions, in the open and closed position; and (2) For power-assisted valves, a means to indicate to the flight crew when the valve: (i) Is in the fully open or fully closed position; or (ii) Is moving between the fully open and fully closed position. (e) For turbine-engine-powered rotorcraft, no single failure or malfunction, or probable combination thereof, in any powerplant control system may cause the failure of any powerplant function necessary for safety.
