Cylinder head temperature is monitored on a piston engine mainly to

  • A.Indicate the power being produced
  • B.Show the fuel flow
  • C.Warn of low oil pressure
  • D.Protect against detonation and thermal damage to the cylinder

Answer: D

Excessive head temperature accompanies detonation and leads to valve and piston damage. It is managed with mixture, cowl flaps and airspeed rather than by reducing power alone, which is why the gauge informs several different actions.
