29.1305—Powerplant instruments.
The following are required powerplant instruments:
(2)
A cylinder head temperature indicator for each air-cooled reciprocating engine, and a coolant temperature indicator for each liquid-cooled reciprocating engine;
(i)
Provide a warning to the crew when approximately 10 minutes of usable fuel remains in the tank; and
(7)
An oil pressure warning device for each pressure-lubricated gearbox to indicate when the oil pressure falls below a safe value;
(8)
An oil quantity indicator for each oil tank and each rotor drive gearbox, if lubricant is self-contained;
(10)
An oil temperature warning device to indicate unsafe oil temperatures in each main rotor drive gearbox, including gearboxes necessary for rotor phasing;
(13)
A tachometer for each engine that, if combined with the applicable instrument required by paragraph (a)(14) of this section, indicates rotor r.p.m. during autorotation.
(ii)
The common r.p.m. of any main rotors whose speeds cannot vary appreciably with respect to each other; and
(iii)
The r.p.m. of each main rotor whose speed can vary appreciably with respect to that of another main rotor;
(17)
For each turbine engine, an indicator to indicate the functioning of the powerplant ice protection system;
(18)
An indicator for the filter required by § 29.997 to indicate the occurrence of contamination of the filter to the degree established in compliance with § 29.955 ;
(19)
For each turbine engine, a warning means for the oil strainer or filter required by § 29.1019, if it has no bypass, to warn the pilot of the occurrence of contamination of the strainer or filter before it reaches the capacity established in accordance with § 29.1019(a)(2) ;
(20)
An indicator to indicate the functioning of any selectable or controllable heater used to prevent ice clogging of fuel system components;
(21)
An individual fuel pressure indicator for each engine, unless the fuel system which supplies that engine does not employ any pumps, filters, or other components subject to degradation or failure which may adversely affect fuel pressure at the engine;
(22)
A means to indicate to the flightcrew the failure of any fuel pump installed to show compliance with § 29.955 ;
(23)
Warning or caution devices to signal to the flightcrew when ferromagnetic particles are detected by the chip detector required by § 29.1337(e); and
(24)
For auxiliary power units, an individual indicator, warning or caution device, or other means to advise the flightcrew that limits are being exceeded, if exceeding these limits can be hazardous, for—
(25)
For rotorcraft for which a 30-second/2-minute OEI power rating is requested, a means must be provided to alert the pilot when the engine is at the 30-second and 2-minute OEI power levels, when the event begins, and when the time interval expires.
(26)
For each turbine engine utilizing 30-second/2-minute OEI power, a device or system must be provided for use by ground personnel which—
(i)
Automatically records each usage and duration of power at the 30-second and 2-minute OEI levels;
(1)
An individual oil pressure indicator for each engine, and either an independent warning device for each engine or a master warning device for the engines with means for isolating the individual warning circuit from the master warning device;
(2)
An independent fuel pressure warning device for each engine or a master warning device for all engines with provision for isolating the individual warning device from the master warning device; and
