Is there a particular reason why engine monitors would be useful in a

The reason is that single engine aircraft, of course, have only one
engine. *A multiengine aircraft has 2 or more engines. *You would
either have to guess which engine to attach the monitor to, or install
a bank of switches to jump back and forth between monitoring the

Uh, that's like saying you don't want to put a monitor on a 6 cylinder
engine because you'd have to decide which of the 4 cylinders to
monitor. *There is an easier solution; buy the montior that is
appropriate for your aircraft and it handles it fine.

ridiculous, no one ---and I mean NO ONE -- would think that I was
serious. (Except maybe MXS!) I WAS MAKING A SARCASTIC JOKE!!
