Study Notes

Oil Pressure Data

Oil pressure data is sent to the cockpit from one or two senders located on the firewall.
These senders are connected to a pressurized engine oil port via a hose.
In aircraft equipped with Standard or Garmin G500 avionics, the senders provide data to the oil pressure gauges and the annunciator in the instrument panel.
For aircraft equipped with Avidyne Entegra or Garmin G1000/G1000 NXi systems, the oil pressure data is managed differently.
