What is the maximum allowable engine oil temperature during operations?

The maximum allowable engine oil temperature during operations for the King Air 350 is 240°C. This temperature limit is critical for maintaining the integrity and performance of the engine oil, which plays a vital role in lubricating engine components, reducing friction, and aiding in heat dissipation. Exceeding this temperature can lead to oil degradation, reduced lubrication effectiveness, and potential engine damage due to overheating.

In aviation, maintaining engine parameters within specified limits is crucial for safe operations. The King Air 350 is designed with these limitations to protect against overheating and to ensure optimal engine performance. Understanding this temperature threshold helps pilots manage engine operations effectively, especially during prolonged or demanding flight conditions. Keeping the oil temperature below this limit contributes to the longevity and reliability of the aircraft’s engines.
