Gauge mistake?


Erikk

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Last week I flew two times with a Twin Otter, and I mentioned that some gauges are different from the TOX. I don't know of this is different for each airline?

I mean the T5 and the Percent Prop RPM. Also the OIL temp and pressure.

Please take a look:

This is indeed a fact that there are nearly as many different layouts as Twotters are in service. ;)

Our one was exactly modelled after one we had access to.

The TWin Otter has been build over almost 3 decades, so I think it´s natural that the look and scale for some instruments has changed a bit.

Look at the Prop RPM gauge of the D-IVER (The one we have replicated) the left one has a yellow arc, while the right one doesn´t. I guess that one of them has been replaced at some point, but they could not find one exactly like the other.
