Dual Tachometers
The pilot and gunner tachometers display the RPM of the engine and main rotor speed in percent. The tachometer outer scale is marked ENGINE and the inner scale is marked ROTOR. The ENGINE and ROTOR needles are synchronized during normal helicopter operation. The circuit is powered by the dc essential bus and protected by the DUAL TACH circuit breaker.
