Powerplant Instruments; Fuel Pressure Indication
This document proposes to amend the certification requirement for fuel pressure indicators on pump fed engines of small airplanes to permit regulatory alternatives to warn pilots of fuel system problems. A fuel pressure indicator is not the only means available to the pilot of indicating a fuel system problem. The proposed change would allow airplanes to be certificated with means that indicate fuel flow, or that monitor the fuel system and warn the pilot of a trend that could lead to engine failure. New technology that would be incorporated as means of compliance with the revised rule could improve engine operation and reduce airplane operating costs.
