EC225 Inst Layout
 

As a regular passenger on EC225 choppers, I like to view the instrument readings. Can anyone help with anywhere I can find information such as a diagram of the instrumentation layout. Then as I'm sat there I can have some understanding of what I'm looking at.

For starters: EC225 Technical Data: Avionics

I/C

Thanks for that Ian, just what I wanted.

What am I looking at on the VMS Display? I presume the two engines and the middle display is the gearbox, but what are they displaying? Vibs, engine torque?

Top screen:
Bigger dial in the middle: Combined Torque, with individual engine torques in the two small boxes underneath
Top left: #1 Engine speed
Bottom left: #1 TOT
Top right: #2 Engine speed
Bottom right: #2 TOT

Bottom screen:
Top middle two: Main Gearbox temp and pressure
Bottom two middle: Hyd 1 & 2 pressures
LH vertical 3: #1 engine oil pressure, temperature and fuel pressure
RH vertical 3: #2 engine oil pressure, temperature and fuel pressure

the large central guage shows main g/b torque(with numericals below to show amount from each engine). the two smaller upper guages show delta N1 (compressor speed) and the lower ones TOT (turbine oulet temp).

hope that helps!

Thanks again chaps. It's nice to know a little about what's going on up front.

Next time you fly you will be able to prompt the pilots.
