what is "EGT"?

[SleepyTito]

@srsebd : "EGT" is Exhaust Gas Temperature; It's one way to measure engine temperature. Some manufacturers use Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT), or Inter-Turbine Temperature (ITT). The difference is where the temperature is taken, and limits are set accordingly.

@SleepyTito EGT is NOT a way to measure engine temperature... it's an indicator of the fuel/air ratio and how they're mixing and burning

[SleepyTito]

@Iketh28 You are correct in regards to a piston engine, but in a JET it's a measure of the temp and health of the turbine section. Specifically, the ratio between EGT and EPR indicates how efficiently the turbines are extracting energy; as an engine gets older it typically takes a higher EGT to achieve the same EPR. Saying "engine temperature" is a simplification but with no other direct indicator in the cockpit EGT is the only way for us to determine if an engine is running "hot".

i hope these birds realise how much trouble they cause us

They missed one possible problem with severe engine issues like that. In some noted cases the engine came off the wing it broke open the Hydrolic systems.

is this vid ment for pilots

[litrboxsndcstle]

Cool vid and it's pilot friendly...Keep positive control of your coffee and look for red light. Got it!

[madisonelectronic]

They always have crapometers in airline pilot seats now, but we have had them in private planes for years. They are called Hanes and Fruit of the Loom.

Like the A-380s engines one blew,and the other didn't shut down, P.O.S.

[hrbear]

Excellent video, but where are the parts 1 and 3?

[vindaloo9]

spill my coffee?? More like soil my underwears!

[azmanic]

sorry can i just explain to the people who dont know alot abut planes........ go

when the engines bang w000000oooooooooftttttfttftftt­fttf your screwed
