§ 23.1305

Powerplant instruments. 

The following are required power-

plant instruments: 

(a) 

For all airplanes. (1) A fuel quan-

tity indicator for each fuel tank, in-
stalled in accordance with § 23.1337(b). 

(2) An oil pressure indicator for each 

engine. 

(3) An oil temperature indicator for 

each engine. 

(4) An oil quantity measuring device 

for each oil tank which meets the re-
quirements of § 23.1337(d). 

(5) A fire warning means for those 

airplanes required to comply with 
§ 23.1203. 

(b) 

For reciprocating engine-powered 

airplanes. In addition to the powerplant 
instruments required by paragraph (a) 
of this section, the following power-
plant instruments are required: 

(1) An induction system air tempera-

ture indicator for each engine equipped 
with a preheater and having induction 
air temperature limitations that can 
be exceeded with preheat. 

(2) A tachometer indicator for each 

engine. 

(3) A cylinder head temperature indi-

cator for— 

(i) Each air-cooled engine with cowl 

flaps; 

(ii) [Reserved] 
(iii) Each commuter category air-

plane. 

(4) For each pump-fed engine, a 

means: 

(i) That continuously indicates, to 

the pilot, the fuel pressure or fuel flow; 
or 

(ii) That continuously monitors the 

fuel system and warns the pilot of any 
fuel flow trend that could lead to en-
gine failure. 

(5) A manifold pressure indicator for 

each altitude engine and for each en-
gine with a controllable propeller. 

(6) For each turbocharger installa-

tion: 

(i) If limitations are established for 

either carburetor (or manifold) air 

inlet temperature or exhaust gas or 
turbocharger turbine inlet tempera-
ture, indicators must be furnished for 
each temperature for which the limita-
tion is established unless it is shown 
that the limitation will not be exceed-
ed in all intended operations. 

(ii) If its oil system is separate from 

the engine oil system, oil pressure and 
oil temperature indicators must be pro-
vided. 

(7) A coolant temperature indicator 

for each liquid-cooled engine. 

(c) 

For turbine engine-powered air-

planes.  In addition to the powerplant 
instruments required by paragraph (a) 
of this section, the following power-
plant instruments are required: 

(1) A gas temperature indicator for 

each engine. 

(2) A fuel flowmeter indicator for 

each engine. 

(3) A fuel low pressure warning 

means for each engine. 

(4) A fuel low level warning means for 

any fuel tank that should not be de-
pleted of fuel in normal operations. 

(5) A tachometer indicator (to indi-

cate the speed of the rotors with estab-
lished limiting speeds) for each engine. 

(6) An oil low pressure warning 

means for each engine. 

(7) An indicating means to indicate 

the functioning of the powerplant ice 
protection system for each engine. 

(8) For each engine, an indicating 

means for the fuel strainer or filter re-
quired by § 23.997 to indicate the occur-
rence of contamination of the strainer 
or filter before it reaches the capacity 
established in accordance with 
§ 23.997(d). 

(9) For each engine, a warning means 

for the oil strainer or filter required by 
§ 23.1019, if it has no bypass, to warn the 
pilot of the occurrence of contamina-
tion of the strainer or filter screen be-
fore it reaches the capacity established 
in accordance with § 23.1019(a)(5). 

(10) An indicating means to indicate 

the functioning of any heater used to 
prevent ice clogging of fuel system 
components. 

(d) 

For turbojet/turbofan engine-pow-

ered airplanes. In addition to the power-
plant instruments required by para-
graphs (a) and (c) of this section, the 
following powerplant instruments are 
required:
