Engine Data Management
Typical Normal Measurements
The following chart lists typical normal measurement values that you will
observe for most general aircraft engines. Your particular engine’s
ranges may not fall within these values.
Measurement
Normal range
Comments
EGTs in Cruise
1350°F
1550°F
under 200 HP engines
high performance engines
(EGT should drop 200°F when
full throttle is applied)
EGT span (DIF)
70 to 90°F
120 to 150°F
fuel injected engines
carbureted engines
TIT
1600°F average
100° higher than EGT
CHTs
350°F (OAT 60°F)
410°F
normally aspirated engines
Turbocharged engines
CHT span
50 to 70°F
100° with gasket probes
OIL T
200°F
oil cooler thermostat typically
opens at 180°F
OIL P
30 to 60 psi
varies with aircraft type
FUEL P (injected)
14 to 18 psi
FUEL P (carbureted)
0.5 to 8 psi
varies with aircraft type
Shock cooling*
-40°/minute
-55°/minute
-200°/minute
tightly cowled engines
Bonanza
helicopter
* Maintain a cooling rate magnitude of less than -50°/minute. You will find
that the cylinder with the greatest shock cooling may shift from front
cylinders (during climb out) to the rear cylinders (during descent ).
