What is the normal engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT) range?

The normal engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT) range for the MQ-9 aircraft is typically between 350-650°C. This range is crucial for ensuring optimal engine performance and reliability. Operating within this temperature range helps to prevent engine damage and ensures efficient combustion.

Exhaust gas temperature is a critical indicator of engine performance and health. It's important for pilots and maintenance crews to monitor EGT closely, as temperatures that fall outside this range can indicate potential issues. For example, if EGT is too high, it could signal an overspeed condition or fuel-rich operation, which could lead to premature engine failure. Conversely, if temperatures are too low, it may suggest incomplete combustion or inefficient engine operation, which can also affect overall performance.

Maintaining EGT within the 350-650°C range is thus essential for the operational safety and performance of the MQ-9 systems.
