A higher than normal CHT reading could indicate that the engine is under excessive stress.

Every modern aircraft has these little devices called "sensors" strategically placed at various locations inside (and a few outside) the aircraft body.

Understanding how the digital EGT display numbers relate to fuel consumption, aircraft range and endurance, engine power for fuel management and power plant management is absolutely essential for a safe and successful flight.

Aircraft Digital Instrument and Monitoring System basically replaced the OEM vintage dials and gauges that aircraft until a decade or so ago, came equipped with.

The patented excuse that a cockpit with OEM dials and gauges looks better that the modern digital ones no longer holds true.

Modern single or multi-engine Aircraft Flight Instruments also have programmable alarms.

Modern day advanced and accurate Aircraft Gauges systems can capture just about every piece of data that can be captured; from cylinder head temperature (CHT) to even vibration data.

Difficult to believe but there are many pilots out there that still rely on the old method of calculating fuel use i.e. with a calculator.

Aircraft sensing and display mechanism of aircraft Digital EGT Gauge systems play a vital role in the safety of the aircraft.

Flight navigation and engine instrumentation systems were until a few years ago, two completely independent units.

J.P. Instruments has been designing and manufacturing aircraft engine data management systems since 1979.

Pilots flying aircraft today are a lucky lot - even those flying vintage aircraft have reasonably accurate analog Fuel Gauges to rely on.

Electronic Data Management Systems (EMS's) are so integrated that they accept cross-platform data and make sense out of it in the same way the pilot(s) would.

Modern high-speed electrical instruments with built-in failure detection circuits of the type manufactured by J.P. Instruments play such a vital role in modern day aircraft flight.

A twin engine aircraft monitoring system obviously holds twice the amount of data when compared to a single engine aircraft monitoring system.

Modern digital Aircraft Gauges therefore free the pilot(s) from having to constantly monitor the aircraft system.

An analog EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) probe is essentially a temperature detector that that works without electricity because it relies on thermocouplers.

The EGT probe should be placed between the accumulator and the exhaust pipe flange and placed at a distance of 2 to 3 inches from the Avionic Instruments flange.

The only difference between engine instruments of single engine and twin engine Slimline Pressure Gauge is the physical size of the instrument panel and the quantum of data displayed.

Single and twin engine aircraft manufactured until a decade ago usually sported analog and mechanical flight instruments in the cockpit.

These slim line gauges for single engine aircraft have a bright, easy-to-read LED displays that can be read even in bright sunlight.

Parameters can be fed in and should the engine exceed any of these set parameters, the digital instrument provides hard-to-ignore warning to the pilot.

The EDM 740 from JP Instruments offers improved fuel economy, extends engine life and reduces maintenance costs.

Replacing obsolete aircraft instrumentation with a cost-effective EDM from J.P. Instrument eliminates reliability issues and growing maintenance costs.

Navigation meant a magnetic compass mounted in front of the pilot and there was another compass in his pocket just in case he had to bail out which back then, was quite frequent.

It's not that technology or the instruments are not available - the aftermarket in onboard flight instruments and aircraft engine data management systems is a big industry.

Enter the after-market products dominated by California based JP Instruments that not only fill in the gap but make the aircraft cockpit a much livelier place.

Aircraft Engine monitoring involves placing a lot of sensors at strategic points within the aircraft engine.
