Gauges Accuracy
-
Hello, while comparing the cockpit instrumentation with the official POH (edition 1983, revised 1998) of the B58P, I noticed several graphical and labeling inconsistencies that appear not to match the aircraft documentation. In particular:
- OIL TEMPERATURE: yellow arc start at 24°C and stop at 38°C. Actually we have only a yellow radiat at 25°C. Also the green arc isn't correct because it should start at 38°C and stop at 116°C;
- OIL PRESSURE: the normal operating range in green should be 30-60 PSI;
- MANIFOLD PRESSURE: the green arc should start at 14 in.Hg.;
- INSTRUMENT PRESSURE: green arch should be from 4.3 to 5.9 in.Hg.;
- DEICE PRESSURE GAGE: when surface deice system is not in operation, Deice Pressure Gage should read approximately 4.5 to 5.5 PSI;
- PROPELLER DEICE AMMETER: It isn't represented the green arc;
- FUEL QUANTITY GAUGES: the yellow arc should be E to 1/8 FULL.
What do you think about? Regards.

@RICMAND Out of curiosity, are you looking at a POH for the 1976-1983 years, through serial number 435? I'm looking at the POH for the 1984 redesign, including serials 436 and subsequent. While I see all the instrument markings you mention in the 1976-1983 POH, none of those illustrations are present in the 1984 POH, and many of the narratives correspond with the later model Baron instrument markings, like "Warmup at 15 inHg". I'll look into the rest of them, and see about changing them if they are incorrect.
@Ccitis I've already fixed this for the next update. Sorry for the delay.
