 Exceeding mast moment limits puts stress on the rotor system and potentially lead to transmission or rotor failures.
-===Electrical and Engine Parameters Display===
+===Vehicle and Engine Monitoring Display (VEMD)===
-The lower portion of the Vehicle and Engine Monitoring Display (VEMD) is the Electrical and Engine Parameters Display. At the top of the display labeled OAT is the Outside Air Temperature in degrees C. Temperature varies by location, time and elevation with a lapse rate of 2 degrees C per thousand feet. Below OAT is the DC voltage for the #1 (left) and #2 (right) primary buses. The generators for each system produce 28V, while the battery produces 24V max. The bottom portion of the display shows oil pressure and temperature for each engine and for the main transmission. Caution ranges and operating limits are shown in yellow and red bars, respectively.

 ====Mast Moment Indicator====
 The lower portion of the FLI contains the mast moment indicator labeled "MM". The mast moment indicator is a horizontal bar with yellow and red limits. Mast moment is a measure of forces acting perpendicular to the main rotor shaft. Sudden or jerky cyclic movement, or flying out of trim can increase mast moment.
 Exceeding mast moment limits puts stress on the rotor system and potentially lead to transmission or rotor failures.

 ====Engine Limit Indications====
 TRQ, TOT and N1 values for each engine are shown on the left and right sides of the main dial. Values on the left side are for engine #1, while values on the right side are for engine #2. The main dial shows the indication that is closest to exceeding its limit. A white block next to one of the values indicates which is being displayed on the dial. Normally TOT is shown during start-up, and TRQ during normal operation.

 ====Fuel Indication====
-The fuel level indication portion of the screen is divided into three parts for each of the three tanks. Fuel levels are shown in kilograms (Kg). The left and right indicator show the level for the tanks feeding the #1 and #2 engines, respectively. The left tank has a capacity of 49 Kg, while the right tank has a capacity of 45 Kg. The differing tank capacities ensure that in the event of fuel exhaustion, both engines will not flame out simultaneously.

 The main tank has a capacity of 475 Kg and feeds both the right and left tanks through forward and aft fuel pumps. Each pump feeds both left and right tanks with the second pump for redundancy.
