Study Notes
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
- EGT helps pilots determine the most fuel-efficient fuel-air mixture for cruising at 75% power or less.
- EGT is a sensor that monitors the fuel-air mixture exiting the engine cylinders.
- Defective leads to the gauge/display must be replaced.
- When replacing leads, ensure the same type and length of wire is used because lead resistance is crucial for gauge/display accuracy.
- The EGT probe is a clamp-mounted type adjusted for proper depth into the exhaust stream.
