Oil Temperature Gauge indicate the engine oil temperature Aircraft engine
controls provide a means for the pilot to control and monitor the operation
of the aircraft's powerplant. This article describes controls used with a basic
internal-combustion engine driving a propeller.
Some optional or more advanced configuration are described at the end of
the article. Jet turbine engines use different operating principles and have
their own sets of controls and sensors.
Fuel Pressure Gauge
Indicates the supply pressure of fuel to the carburetor (or in the case of a
fuel injected engine), to the fuel controller.
The majority of engine failures on microlight and homebuilt aircraft are
caused by fuel system faults. The Cyclone Fuel Pressure Tester is available
tooI for checking whether the fuel system is functioning correctly. If your
engine has suffered an engine seizure, holed or burned piston, loss of power
at full throttle or a total failure, it is vitally important to determine the cause
of the problem, before the aircraft is flown again. The pressure tester is
invaluable in diagnosing the problem.
The carburetor Air Temperature Gauge
Some airplanes have a carburetor air temperature gauge. This gauge
measures the temperature in the carburetor. The yellow are indicate
temperature at which icing is most likely to occur. When ice is suspected or
detected, the pilot can apply enough heat to raise the temperatures out of
the danger zone. Do not use partial carburetor heat without a carburetor air
temperature gauge. Applying partial heat or leaving it on for an insufficient
time might aggravate the situation.
PIREPs are the pilot's only source of report induction system icing. Iced-over
all make systems and carburetor ice. Both result in loss of engine power
and, left unchecked, complete power failure. The Solution is to use the
alternate air source on fuel-injected engines or carburetor heat on normally
aspirated-carbureted-engines. Induction system icing takes place any time
structural icing occurs. A symptom is a gradual loss of power.

CONTENIDO: TECHNICAL DOCUMENTE
At Rolls Royce, the ATA-specified technical manuals are permanently stored
in a publicly accessible place for everyone's use.
Each engine type is documented by a large set of manuals covering various
aspects of the engine. For a typical engine, the most important manuals
are-.
a) The Maintenance Manual which describes all aspects relevant for
normal 'on-wing' service (5 volumes);
b) The Engine Manual which covers all procedures carried out during 'offwing' engine overhaul (7 volume
c) The Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC) which shows exploded view
type illustrations and lists of all engine parts down to nuts, bolts,
clipping and O-rings (3[4) volumes).
d) Other manual types such as Time Limits Manual, Tools and Equipment
Manual, and Standard Practices manual also conform to the ATA
numbering system.
Rolls Royce develops a complete set of technical documentation to support
each engine family. An Operation and/or Maintenance Manual and Illustrated
Parts Catalogue are provided to each operator.
These document describe proper operation, maintenance and procurement
of replacement parts. Additional manuals are available that provide the
information required for installation design, heavy maintenance/overhaul
and vendor component repairs.
Service Bulletins
A comprehensive system works to ensure service bulletins are issued
informing operators and maintenance facilities of the latest operational
and maintenance requirements. Rolls Royce is fully committed to
ensuring all documentation and publications are up-to-date and reflect the
latest engine configuration and operational procedures. They will be
available on a timely basis and will provide our customers the information
needed to make informed decisions concerning fleet management.
