§ 27.1337 Powerplant instruments.
(a)Instruments and instrument lines.
(1) Each powerplant instrument line must meet the requirements of §§ 27.- 961 and 27.993. (2) Each line carrying flammable fluids under pressure must - (i) Have restricting orifices or other safety devices at the source of pressure to prevent the escape of excessive fluid if the line fails; and (ii) Be installed and located so that the escape of fluids would not create a hazard. (3) Each powerplant instrument that utilizes flammable fluids must be installed and located so that the escape of fluid would not create a hazard. (b)Fuel quantity indicator. Each fuel quantity indicator must be installed to clearly indicate to the flight crew the quantity of fuel in each tank in flight. In addition - (1) Each fuel quantity indicator must be calibrated to read “zero” during level flight when the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank is equal to the unusable fuel supply determined under § 27.959; (2) When two or more tanks are closely interconnected by a gravity feed system and vented, and when it is impossible to feed from each tank separately, at least one fuel quantity indicator must be installed; and (3) Each exposed sight gauge used as a fuel quantity indicator must be protected against damage. (c)Fuel flowmeter system. If a fuel flowmeter system is installed, each metering component must have a means for bypassing the fuel supply if malfunction of that component severely restricts fuel flow. (d)Oil quantity indicator. There must be means to indicate the quantity of oil in each tank - (1) On the ground (including during the filling of each tank); and (2) In flight, if there is an oil transfer system or reserve oil supply system.
(e) Rotor drive system transmissions and gearboxes utilizing ferromagnetic materials must be equipped with chip detectors designed to indicate the presence of ferromagnetic particles resulting from damage or excessive wear. Chip detectors must - (1) Be designed to provide a signal to the device required by § 27.1305(v) and be provided with a means to allow crewmembers to check, in flight, the function of each detector electrical circuit and signal.
