A remote indicating instrument differs from a direct reading one in that

  • A.The sensing element stays at the engine
  • B.It requires no sensor at all
  • C.It is always mechanical
  • D.It cannot be calibrated

Answer: A

Correct answer: The sensing element stays at the engine

In a remote indicating system the sensor remains at the engine and sends an electrical signal to a display in the cockpit. A direct reading instrument instead brings the measured medium itself forward - oil or fuel through a pipe, or a capillary filled with fluid.

The gain is threefold: no flammable fluid enters the cockpit, no long capillary introduces lag or breakage risk, and an electrical signal can be recorded, processed and displayed on a shared screen. A remote system still needs a sensor and is still calibrated; what changes is what travels along the wire.
