through a throttle in the intake manifold of an engine. It is a measure of the
amount of airflow through the engine. Hence it is also a measure of the power
capacity in the engine.
Both values are related to the power settings. Therefore we combined them
into one single indicator, see Figure 21. This allows the pilot to optimally set
the throttle and the propeller pitch. Note that some engines do not specify
green and yellow range. Hence, such range is optional.
The optional green range defines the recommended range of RPM. The op-
tional yellow range defines the range of RPM, which should not be used for
longer period and should be generally avoided. The red mark limits the engine
RPM.
The manifold pressure scale is always given in inHg (inches of mercury) units.

Gyroplanes require indication of rotor RPM. Figure 22 illustrates a special
combination of parameters combined into one gauge.
