How To Diagnose Your Engine Control
The proper diagnosis of electronic engine control systems is essential to ensure the safe operation of aircraft. Engine control is vital to the functioning of an aircraft and controls the thrust, speed, and fuel consumption. Vortex Systems provide multiple types of testers, for jet fuel control, hydraulics, and pneumatics.
Malfunctioning engine control systems can lead to a variety of issues, including increased engine wear, increased fuel consumption, and — in extreme cases — stalls and power loss. Testing them regularly will reduce the risk for pilots and passengers.
IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
When diagnosing engine control in aircraft, the most important thing is to identify the cause of the problem. This can be accomplished by hooking the engine control system up to our engine control testers and checking each necessary component. Identifying the source of the problem will determine the type of repair or maintenance that is necessary.
