The flight engineer station on the Lockheed L-1011 is home to a number of engine panels. A few days ago I showed you the ENGINE OIL panel. In today's posting we are taking a look at the ENGINE STATUS panel. There are actually a total of 3 panels that specifically deal with engine information, they are: ENGINE STATUS, ENGINE OIL and ENGINE FUEL.
The panel is home to the following instruments for the number 1, 2 and 3 engines.
- %N2 Stage RPM
- Engine Vibration
The Engine Status panel has a number of selector switches, a rotary switch and a test button (as seen in the image above). The TEST button is a momentary switch that will drive all the indicators towards zero for testing. The PICKUP SELECTION switches decide if FAN (A) or TURB (B) vibration will be indicated on the VIB instruments. The rotary switch sets the sensitivity of the vibration indicators from NORM, LOW, MED to HIGH.
