What is the required oil pressure for aerobatics/spin maneuvers?

The required oil pressure for aerobatics and spin maneuvers in the T-6A is above 40 PSI. This standard is established to ensure that the engine remains adequately lubricated during various flight conditions, including maneuvers that may lead to increased engine demands or changes in orientation. During aerobatic flight or spins, maintaining oil pressure above this threshold is crucial to prevent engine damage and ensure proper operation.

While other pressure values might also be significant for different phases of flight or operational limits, the minimum requirement during aerobatic maneuvers is explicitly set at above 40 PSI to safeguard engine performance and reliability under these demanding conditions. Understanding this limit helps pilots ensure they operate within safe parameters during aerobatic training or activities to protect both the aircraft and themselves.
