This is the US version of Tomato Flames. I recommend that Canadians
DON'T read it, so you don't get mixed up. I put it up here because "tomato
flames" is consistently in the top five searches that people use to find
my page, so students out there must desperately need this information. I
took this version from an EAA newsletter. You can bet that there are
other versions out there.
T- Tachometer
O - Oil pressure gauge
M - Manifold pressure gauge
A - Altimeter
T - Temperature gauge for each liquid
cooled engine
O - Oil temperature gauge
F - Fuel gauge
L - Landing gear position indicator
A - Airspeed indicator
M - Magnetic direction indicator (compass)
E - ELT
S - Seatbelts
The differences are minor. Canadian pilots are required to have timepieces
and are required to carry more survival and emergency equipment than US aircraft.
We all need seatbelts, but I didn't put them in my version because the CARs
don't list them in the same place as the other equipment.
