Which information is displayed on the Engine Systems Display (ESD)?

The Engine Systems Display (ESD) in the T-6A is specifically designed to showcase critical engine information for pilots, ensuring they have the necessary data to monitor engine health and performance during flight. This display includes details such as oil temperature and oil pressure, which are vital for assessing the engine's operational status and ensuring it is functioning within acceptable limits. Monitoring oil temperature is crucial as it helps prevent engine overheating, while oil pressure indicates whether the lubrication system is functioning properly. This data helps pilots make informed decisions regarding engine operation and potential emergencies.

The other information that might be found in the other display systems is not shown on the ESD. For instance, fuel flow and cockpit altitude are typically monitored on different systems, while engine RPM and propeller efficiency may also be displayed elsewhere, but they do not fall under the responsibilities of the Engine Systems Display itself. Understanding the specific functions of these displays helps pilots utilize the tools effectively while managing the T-6A in various flight conditions.
