Today cruising at 5500ft oil pressure suddenly started fluctuating on the low side before going to zero with red X. Along with continuous audible warning “Oil Pressure”.
Very shortly after this my fuel flow went to the upper green limit then into caution along with “Fuel Flow” audible warning.
The engine itself performed normally, no vibration, ran smoothly, no obvious oil leaks. Nothing else abnormal.
On descent to the field at above idle the oil pressure indication returned to normal as did fuel pressure. Landing and taxi uneventful and post flight inspection showed no oil loss or anything else abnormal.
Ran it by my Rotax trained and qualified mechanic and his suggestion was to contact Dynon Tech Support which I will do tomorrow as it sounded to him like it was a Dynon issue.
Thought I’d post the experience here to ask for suggestions and/or comments.
Thanks in advance e.
