Hi Ira
Thanks for the thought. I set the EGT just below take off and slightly above
cruise max deliberately to give me some prior indication before a problem.
It seemed to work as with the damaged silencer the reading took a big jump from
770 ish to 860 + or more in one go in the climeout. The EGT increase was not
progressive but quite jumpy so I don't think it's safe to sail too close to
the wind. With just a manual gauge I may have missed it but with a flashing
red light right in my eye line (part of the EIS set up) and a flashing EIS EGT
reading it could not be missed.
Regards
