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.
under 200 HP engines
high performance engines
(EGT should drop 200°F when
full throttle is applied)
fuel injected engines
carbureted engines
normally aspirated engines
Turbocharged engines
100° with gasket probes
oil cooler thermostat typically
opens at 180°F
varies with aircraft type
varies with aircraft type
-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 ).
