A yellow arc on an engine instrument indicates

  • A.A prohibited range
  • B.The normal continuous range
  • C.The range used only at start
  • D.A caution range acceptable only for limited periods

Answer: D

Correct answer: A caution range acceptable only for limited periods

Yellow is a caution marking, not a prohibition. Operation within a yellow arc is permitted but should be brief, and it is often associated with transient conditions such as high power during take-off or a temperature that is acceptable while climbing but not in the cruise.

The contrast with red is the point. Red marks a value that must not be exceeded at all, whereas yellow marks a range that may be used with the duration watched. Green is the normal continuous range, in which the engine may be operated indefinitely.
