Our club's Skylane has one CHT gauge with a big 'ol green range & no temps

That's what my Maule has. I just keep it in the green during climb and descent and
check it every once in a while during cruise.

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.


All of the information most people need is available online at

http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory...e?OpenFrameSet

These are the Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS) for US made
airplanes, engines, propellers and appliances (equipment such as
Carbs, seat belts and so on).
Engine TCDS give CHTs and a lot of other stuff. The statement by
the engine guys that the airframe manufacturer sets CHTs is
misleading.
