Research of Zlin Z42 engine´s operation by EDM-800 monitoring system

The purpose of this paper is based on the analysis of the M137 engine performance by the EDM- 800 monitoring system that is also mounted on Zlin Z42 aircraft in operation of Air Training and Education Centre of the University of Zilina. This research consists of measurements based on the comparison and analysis of the engine parameters where its performance was simulated under various temperature conditions. Measured parameters are monitored during these flight regimes – take off, climb, cruise and approach. Briefly, these measurements are able to detect the existing problems during the engine operation and consequently they will be helpful to prevent potential engine malfunctions in the future operations
