12-29-2021, 07:21 PM #1P300 Hydraulic Differential Pressure Indicators (DPI) checks?
The 135 crew on my plane recently noted that the DPI on the Hydraulic Manifold were extended, indicating that the filters needs to be replaced. Embraer does not have any on hand but Chris Grinnell has his PMA version in stock - holiday flights saved.
However I checked both the AFM and the POH, can’t find any references to the DPI indicator. Only and old CAE training document refers to them:
The filters have visual “pop-up” Differential Pressure Indicators (DPI) to provide a visual indication when the filters need to be replaced. (This is normally checked, on preflight, by the flight crew or by maintenance during various inspections). Refer to Figure 10-9 (above). They are red anodized indicators that extend 3/16” when the differential pressure across the filter exceeds set limits (70 psid +/- 10). -
