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.

Measurement

Typical Range

Comments

EGTs in Cruise

1350°F

under 200 HP engines

1550°F

high performance engines (Note:

EGT should drop 200°F when full

throttle is applied)

EGT span (DIF)

70 to 90°F

fuel injected engines

120 to 150°F

carbureted engines

TIT

1600°F average

CHT

350°F (OAT 60°F)

normally aspirated engines

410°F

turbocharged engines

CHT Span

50 to 70°F

100° with gasket probes

Oil T

200°F

oil cooler thermostat opens at

180°F

OIL P

30 to 60 psi

varies with aircraft type

FUEL P (injected)

14 to 18 psi

varies with aircraft type

FUEL P

(carbureted)

0.5 to 8 psi

varies with aircraft type

Shock cooling

*

-40°/minute

tightly cowled engines

-55°/minute

Bonanza

-200°/minute

helicopter

*

Maintain a cooling rate magnitude of less than -50°/minute. You will

find that the cylinder with the greatest shock cooling will shift from front
cylinders (during climb out) to the rear cylinders (during descent ).
