Can you imagine what the JPI screen would look like for this? Much less how many little round dials there would have been then . . . Don't think you'd be able to make heads or tails out if either readout set if flying single pilot IFR! 1
1964-M20E Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Somewhere on here there was a 360 view of a B36 engineers station and the number of dials and gauges was mind boggling.
Bryan1016 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Dad flew the KC-97 Stratotanker with P&W 28 cyl, 3500 hp engines and turbojets on the wing tips. They carried a 55 gallon drum of oil. If an engine started taking oil, they would shut it down instead of using up their whole barrel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
