12.32.14(b) high oil pressure;

12.32.14(b) . high oil pressure; 

Monitor oil temperature and CHT
land as some as possible.

12.32.14(a) low/zero oil pressure;

12.32.14(a) . low/zero oil pressure; 

– monitor oil and CHT.
– land as soon as safely possible

12.32.14 State the actions (if any) that the pilot can take to rectify:

12.32.14. State the actions (if any) that the pilot can take to rectify:

12.32.12(e) high oil temperature.

12.32.12(e) . high oil temperature. 

high oil temperature can be an indication of:
– insufficient oil
– oil cooler bypass valve stuck open
– inappropriate operation (eg high power low airspeed)
– faulty gauge

12.32.12(d) low oil temperature;

12.32.12(d) . low oil temperature; 

low oil temperature is most likely an indication the the oil cooler bypass valve is not working.
Also possibly cowl flaps open at high speed and low power.

12.32.12(c) fluctuating oil pressure;

12.32.12(c) . fluctuating oil pressure; 

fluctuating oil pressure is probably caused by a sticking pressure relief valve, or a problem with the pump.

12.32.12(b) high oil pressure;

12.32.12(b) . high oil pressure; 

High oilressure is probably an indication of a sssstuck pressure relief valve.

12.32.12(a) low/zero oil pressure;

12.32.12(a) . low/zero oil pressure; 

A low oil pressure indication can be caused by a number of things:
– low oil quantity
– excessive wear in parts of the engine eg bearings
– a leak in an oil line or tank
– oil pump problems
– pressure relief valve sticking open.
– faulty gauge
among other things.

12.32.12 Identify the possible oil system malfunctions indicated by:

12.32.12. Identify the possible oil system malfunctions indicated by:

Indications
Abnormal Oil Pressure

Fluctuating oil pressure
– quantity of oil available is low / failure of scavenge pump
Low oil pressure
– low oil quantity (lack of replenishment / leaking tank / broken supply line)
– loss of oil pressure (failure of pressure pump/ pressure line/ failing bearings)
– faulty oil pressure gauge – pressure indication falls but not accompanies by rise in oil temp

High oil pressure
– likely faulty pressure relief valve

Abnormal Oil Temperature
High oil temperature – (general overheating of the engine / probs with lubrication system)

Oil pressure and temperature together
– if low or fluctuating oil pressure occurs in flight with a rise in oil temperature => indicates a serious problem with the lubrication system
Land as soon as possible / Forced landing without power if engine seizes

Actions
– with any problem concerning oil plan to land sooner rather than later

12.32.10(b) checking the correct oil quantity before flight.

12.32.10(b) . checking the correct oil quantity before flight. 

Oil Quantity
– check oil level during each pre-flight inspection
– the oil level on the dipstick should be between the maximum and minimum levels
– if below the minimum the engine will overheat due to less oil circulating in the engine
– if overfull – the excess oil may be forced out through various parts of the engine
