An electrical signal
On a twin-engine aircraft with fuel-injected reciprocating engines, one fuel flowmeter reads considerably higher than other in all engine operating configurations. What is the probable cause of this indication?
One or mor fuel nozzles are clogged.
The fuel flow indication system used with many fuel-injected opposed engine utilizes a measure of
fuel pressure
In addition to fuel quantity, a computerized fuel system (CFS) with a totalizer-indicator provides indication of how many of the following?
fuel time remaining at current power setting
