ENGINE
Engine manufacturer:
Engine model:

Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH
TAE 125-01 or TAE 125-02

The TAE 125-02 is the successor of the TAE 125-01. Both engine
variants have the same power output and the same propeller speeds
but different displacement. While the TAE 125-01 has 1689 ccm, the
TAE-125-02 has 1991 ccm. Both TAE 125 engine variants are liquidcooled in-line four-stroke 4-cylinder motor with DOHC (double
overhead camshaft) and are direct Diesel injection engines with
common-rail technology and turbocharging. Both engine variants are
controlled by a FADEC system. The propeller is driven by a built-in
gearbox (i = 1.69) with mechanical vibration damping and overload
release. The engine variants have an electrical self starter and an
alternator.

■ CAUTION:

The engine requires an electrical power source
for operation. If the battery and alternator fail
simultaneously, this leads to engine stop.
Therefore, it is important to pay attention to
indications of alternator failure.

Due to this specific characteristic, all of the information from the

FUEL SYSTEM (Left, Right)
The fuel system of both TAE 125 installations includes the original
standard or long-range tanks of the Cessna 172. Additional sensors
for Fuel Temperature and “Low Level” Warning are installed.
The fuel flows out of the tanks to the Fuel Selector Valve with the
positions LEFT, RIGHT and OFF, through a reservoir tank to the fuel
shut-off valve and then via the electrically driven Fuel Pump to the
fuel filter. There is no BOTH position.
The electrically driven Fuel Pump supports the fuel flow to the Filter
Module if required. Upstream to the Fuel Filter Module a thermostatcontrolled Fuel Pre-heater is installed. Then, the engine-driven feed
pump and the high-pressure pump supply the rail, from where the
fuel is injected into the cylinders depending upon the position of the
thrust lever and regulation by the FADEC.
Surplus fuel flows to the Filter Module and then through the Fuel
Selector Valve back into the pre-selected tank. A temperature sensor
in the Filter Module controls the heat exchange between the fuel
feed and return.
Since the density of jetfuel (0.80kg/l) is higher than of AVGAS
(0.715kg/l), the usable fuel capacity was reduced by this factor
through the fuel filler neck, to stay within the approved wing load.

FUEL SYSTEM (Left, Right, Both)
The fuel system of both TAE 125 installations includes the original

for Fuel Temperature and “Low Level” Warning are installed.
The fuel flows out of the tanks to the Fuel Selector Valve with the
positions LEFT, RIGHT or BOTH, through a reservoir tank to the fuel
shut-off valve and then via the electrically driven Fuel Pump to the

the fuel return to both tanks. A temperature sensor in the Filter
Module controls the heat exchange between the fuel feed and return.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system of both TAE125 installations differs from the
previous original installation and is equipped with the following
operating and display elements:
1. Switch “Main Bus”
The switch controls the Main Bus. The Main Bus is necessary to
be able to run FADEC and engine with Battery/Alternator without
disturbance in the event of onboard electrical system
malfunctions. Normally, Alternator, Main Bus and Battery have to
be switched on simultaneously.
2. Circuit Breaker “Alternator”
Controls the alternator.
3. Switch “Battery”
Controls the Battery.
4. Push Button “Starter”
Controls the magneto switch of the starter.
5. Ammeter
The Ammeter shows the charging or discharging current to/from
the battery.
6. Warning Lamp “Alternator”
Illuminates when the power output of the alternator is too low or
the Circuit Breaker “Alternator” is switched off. Normally, this
warning lamp always illuminates when the “Engine Master is
switched on without revolution and extinguishes immediately after
starting the engine.
7. Switch “Fuel Pump”
This switch controls the electrical fuel pump.
8. Switch “Engine Master“
Controls the two redundant FADEC components and the
Alternator Excitation Battery with two independent contacts. The
Alternator Excitation Battery is used to ensure that the alternator
continues to function properly even if the main battery fails.

10.If the FADEC does not automatically switch from A-FADEC to the
B-FADEC in case of an emergency despite of obvious necessity,
this switch allows to switch manually to the B-FADEC.
The basic wiring of the TAE 125 installation is available in 14V as
well as 28V versions.

FADEC-RESET (from Software 2.7 on and following)
In case of a FADEC-warning, one or both FADEC warning lamps are
flashing. If then the “FADEC” Test Knob is pressed for at least 2
seconds,
a) the active warning lamps will extinguish if it was a LOW
category warning.
b) the active warning lamps will be illuminated steady if it was a
HIGH category warning.
„ CAUTION:

If a FADEC-warning occurred, contact definitely
your service center.

COOLING
The TAE 125 variants are fitted with a fluid-cooling system whose
three-way thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the large
and small cooling circuit.
The coolant exclusively flows through the small circuit up to a cooling
water temperature of 84°C and then between 84 and 94°C both
through the small and the large circuit.
If the cooling water temperature rises above 94°C, the complete
volume of coolant flows through the large circuit and therefore
through the radiator. This allows a maximum cooling water
temperature of 105°C.
There is a sensor in the expansion reservoir which sends a signal to
the warning lamp "Water level“ on the instrument panel if the coolant
level is low.
The cooling water temperature is measured in the housing of the
thermostat and passed on to the FADEC and CED 125.
The connection to the heat exchanger for cabin heating is always
open; the warm air supply is regulated by the pilot over the heating
valve. See Figure 1-5a.
In normal operation the control knob “Shut-off Cabin Heat” must be
OPEN, with the control knob “Cabin Heat” the supply of warm air into
the cabin can be controlled.
In case of certain emergencies (refer to section 3), the control knob
“Shut-off Cabin Heat” has to be closed according to the appropriate
procedures.

GENERAL
▲ WARNING:

Due to an engine shut-off or a FADEC diagnosed
failure there might be a loss propeller valve
currency which leads in a low pitch setting of the
propeller. This might result in overspeed.
Airspeeds below 100 KIAS are suitable to avoid
overspeed in failure case. If the propeller speed
control fails, climb flights can be performed at
65KIAS / 75 mph and a power setting of 100%.

DURING FLIGHT
‹ Note:

Flying a tank dry activates both FADEC lamps
flashing.

In case that one tank was flown dry, at the first signs of insufficient
fuel feed proceed as follows:
(1)

Immediately switch the Fuel Selector to tank with sufficient
fuel quantity, if optional BOTH selector is installed, switch to
the position BOTH

(2)

Electrical Fuel Pump – ON

(3)

Check the engine (engine parameters, airspeed/altitude
change, whether the engine responds to changes in the
Thrust Lever position).

(4)

If the engine acts normally, continue the flight to the next
airfield or landing strip.

▲ WARNING:

The high-pressure pump must be checked before
the next flight.

RESTART AFTER ENGINE FAILURE
Whilst gliding to a suitable landing strip, try to determine the reason
for the engine malfunction. If time permits and a restart of the engine
is possible, proceed as follows:
(1)

If possible, airspeed between 65 and 85 KIAS

(2)

If possible, glide below 13000 ft

(3)

then additionally Starter ON

(7)

Check the engine power: Thrust Lever 100%,
engine parameters, check altitude and airspeed

‹ Note:

The propeller will normally continue to turn as
long as the airspeed is above 65 KIAS. Should
the propeller stop at an airspeed of more than 65
KIAS or more, the reason for this should be found
out before attempting a restart. If it is obvious that
the engine or propeller is blocked, do not use the
Starter.

‹ Note:

If the Engine Master is in position OFF, the Load
Display shows 0% even if the propeller is turning.

FADEC MALFUNCTION IN FLIGHT

FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS
▲ WARNING:

It is prohibited to fly in known icing conditions.

In case of inadvertent icing encounter proceed as follows:
(1)

Pitot Heat switch – ON (if installed)

(2)

Turn back or change the altitude to obtain an outside air
temperature that is less conducive to icing.

(3)

Pull the cabin heat control full out and open defroster outlets
to obtain maximum windshield defroster airflow. Adjust cabin
air control to get maximum defroster heat and airflow.

(4)

Advance the Thrust Lever to increase the propeller speed
and keep ice accumulation on the propeller blades as low as
possible.

(5)

Watch for signs of air filter icing and pull the “Alternate Air
Door” control if necessary. An unexplained loss in engine
power could be caused by ice blocking the air intake filter.
Opening the “Alternate Air Door” allows preheated air from
the engine compartment to be aspirated.

(6)

Plan a landing at the nearest airfield. With an extremely
rapid ice build up, select a suitable “off airfield” landing side.

(7)

With an ice accumulation of 0.5 cm or more on the wing
leading edges, a significantly higher stall speed should be
expected.

(8)

Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build up on the
horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction
caused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of
elevator effectiveness.

(9)

Open left window, if practical, scrape ice from a portion of
the windshield for visibility in the landing approach.

(10)

Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if
necessary, for improved visibility.

(11)

Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of
the accumulation.

(12)

Perform a landing in level attitude.

RECOVERY FROM SPIRAL DIVE
If a spiral is encountered in the clouds, proceed as follows:
(1)

Retard Thrust Lever to idle position

(2)

Stop the turn by using coordinated aileron and rudder control
to align the symbolic airplane in the turn coordinator with the
horizontal reference line.

(3)

Cautiously apply elevator back pressure to slowly reduce the
airspeed to 80 KIAS.

(4)

Adjust the elevator trim control to maintain an 80 KIAS glide.

(5)

Keep hands off the control wheel, using e rudder control to
hold a straight heading.

(6)

Readjust the rudder trim (if installed) to relieve the rudder of
asymmetric forces.

(7)

Clear the engine occasionally, but avoid using enough power
to disturb the trimmed glide.

(8)

Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight
and continue the flight.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

Figure 4-1a Preflight Inspection
‹ Note:

Visually check airplane for general condition
during walk around inspection. In cold weather,
remove even small accumulations of frost, ice or
snow from wing, tail and control surfaces. Also,
make sure that control surfaces contain no
internal accumulations of ice or debris. Prior to
flight, check that pitot heater (if installed) is warm
to touch within 30 seconds with battery and pitot
heat switches on. If a night flight is planned,
check operation of all lights, and make sure a
flashlight is available.

AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES
STARTING ENGINE
The TAE 125 is a direct diesel injection engine with common–rail
technology and a turbocharger. It is controlled automatically by the
FADEC, which makes a proper performance of the FADEC test
important for safe flight operation.
All information relating to the engine are compiled in the CED 125
multifunction instrument.
Potentiometers within the Thrust Lever transmit the load value
selected by the pilot to the FADEC.
With the “Engine Master” in position ON the glow relay is triggered
by the FADEC and the Glow Plugs are supplied with electrical
power, in position OFF, the Injection Valves are not supplied by the
FADEC and stay closed.
The switch/push button “Starter” controls the Starter.
TAXIING
When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to
a minimum and that all controls be utilized (Refer to Figure 4-2,
Taxiing Diagram) to maintain directional control and balance.
The Alternate Air Door Control should be always pushed for ground
operation to ensure that no unfiltered air is sucked in.
Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine
speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller tips.
BEFORE TAKEOFF
WARM UP
Let the engine run at propeller RPM of 1,400 to ensure normal
operation of the TAE 125 until it reaches an Engine Oil Temperature
of 50°C (green area) and a Coolant Temperature of 60°C (green
area).

MAGNETO CHECK
N/A since this is a Diesel engine
ALTERNATOR CHECK
Prior to flights where verification of proper alternator and alternator
control unit operation is essential (such as night and instrument
flights), a positive verification can be made by loading the electrical
system momentarily (3 to 5 seconds) with the landing light or by
operating the wing flaps during the engine runup (20% load). The
ammeter will remain within a needle width of zero if the alternator
and alternator control unit are operating properly.
BATTERY CHECK
If there is doubt regarding the battery conditions or functionality the
battery has to be checked after warm-up as follows:
Pull the alternator Circuit breaker while the engine is running (battery
remains “ON”)
Perform a 10 sec. engine run. The voltmeter must remain in the
green range. If not, the battery has to be charged or, if necessary,
exchanged.
After this test the alternator the alternator circuit breaker has to be
pushed in again.

TAKEOFF
POWER CHECK
It is important to check full load engine operation early in the takeoff
roll. Any signs of rough engine operation or sluggish engine
acceleration is good cause for discontinuing the takeoff. If this
occurs, you are justified in making a thorough full load static runup
before another takeoff is attempted.
After full load is applied, adjust the Thrust Lever Friction Control to
prevent the Thrust Lever from creeping back from a maximum power
position. Similar friction lock adjustments should be made as
required in other flight conditions to maintain a fixed Thrust Lever
setting.
WING FLAP SETTINGS
Flap deflections greater than 10° are not approved for normal and
short field takeoffs. Using 10° wing flaps reduces the ground roll and
total distance over a 15 m obstacle by approximately 10%.
CLIMB
Normal climbs are performed with flaps up and full load and at
speeds 5 to 10 knots higher than best rate-of-climb speeds for the
best combination of engine cooling, climb speed and visibility. The
speed for best climb is about 69 KIAS. If an obstruction dictates the
use of a steep climb angle, climb at 62 KIAS and flaps up.
‹ Note:

Climbs at low speeds should be of short duration to
improve engine cooling.

CRUISE
As guidance for calculation of the optimum altitude and power setting
for a given flight use the tables in Figure 5-7a or 5-7b.

during the go-around climb, reduce wing flap setting to 10° and
maintain a safe airspeed until the obstacles are cleared. After
clearing any obstacles, the flaps may be retracted as the airplane
accelerates to the normal flaps up climb speed.

TAKEOFF
The takeoff distance chart, Figure 5-4a (Takeoff Distance), should be
consulted, keeping in mind that distances shown are based on the
short field technique. Conservative distances can be established by
reading the chart at the next higher value of weight, temperature and
altitude. For example, in this particular sample problem, the takeoff
distance information presented for a weight of 1,043 kg (2300 lbs),
pressure altitude of 1000 ft and a temperature of ISA+20°C should
be used and results in the following:
Ground Roll
Total Distance to clear a 15 m obstacle

300 m (984 ft)
616 m (2021 ft)

These distances are well within the available takeoff field length.
However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on
Note 2 of the takeoff chart. The correction for a 12 Knot Headwind is:
12 KN
× 10% = 13% Decrease
9 KN
This results in the following distances, corrected for wind:

CRUISE
The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of
trip length, winds aloft and the airplanes performance. A typical
cruising altitude and the expected wind enroute have been given for
this sample problem. However, the power setting selection for cruise
must be determined based on several considerations. These include
the cruise performance characteristics presented in Figures 5-7a to
5-7d. Considerable fuel savings and longer range result when lower
power settings are used.
Figure 5-7a shows a range of 751 NM at zero wind, a power setting
of 70% and altitude of 6,000 ft.
With an expected headwind of 10 Knot at 6,000 ft altitude the range
has to be corrected as follows:
Range at zero wind (standard tanks)

751 NM

Reduction due to Headwind

(7.2 h x 10 Knot)= 72NM

Corrected Range

679 NM

This shows that the flight can be performed at a power setting of
approximately 70% with full tanks without an intermediate fuel stop.
Figure 5-7a is based upon a pressure altitude of 6,000 ft and a
temperature of 20°C above ISA temperature, according to Note 2
true airspeed and maximum range are increased by 2 %.
The following values most nearly correspond to the planned altitude
and expected temperature conditions. Engine Power setting chosen
is 70%.
The resultants are :
Engine Power:

70%

True Airspeed:

106 kt

Fuel Consumption in cruise:

18.6l/h (4.9 US gal/h)

Page 5-3
Issue 2
Revision -, March 12, 2007

Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F)172 N & P
FUEL REQUIRED
The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the
performance information in Figures 5-6 and 5-7. For this sample
problem, Figure 5 6a shows that a climb from 1,000 ft to 6,000 ft
requires 4.4 l (1.14 US gal) of fuel. The corresponding distance
during the climb is 10,7 NM. These values are for a standard
temperature and are sufficiently accurate for most flight planning
purposes.
However, a further correction for the effect of temperature may be
made as noted in Note 2 of the climb chart in Figure 5-6a/5-6b. An
effect of 10°C above the standard temperature is to increase time
and distance by 10% and the time and above 10,000ft by 5% due to
the lower rate of climb.
In this case, assuming a temperature 20°C above standard, the
correction would be:
20°C
× 10% = 20,0% Increase
10°C

With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as
follows:
Fuel to climb, standard temperature

4.4 l (1.14 US gal)

Increase due to non-standard temperature
4.4 l (1.14 US gal) x 20,0% = 0.9 l (0.2 US gal)
Corrected fuel to climb

5.3 l (1.34 US gal)

Using a similar procedure for the distance to climb results in
11,3 NM.

With an expected 10 Knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is
predicted to be:
106
-10
96

Knot
Knot
Knot

Therefore, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is:
448,7 NM
= 4,7 h
96 KN

The fuel required for cruise is:

4.7 h x 18.6 l/h = 87.4 l (23.1 US gal)

The total estimated fuel required is as follows:
Engine Start, Taxi and Takeoff
Climb
Cruise
Total fuel required

1.00 l ( 0.30 US gal)
+ 5.30 l ( 1.34 US gal)
+87.40 l (23.10 US gal)
93.70 l (24,74 US gal)

This gives with full tanks a reserve of:
134.30 l (35.50 US gal)
-93.70 l (24,74 US gal)
40.60 l (10.76 US gal)
Once the flight is underway, ground speed checks will provide a
more accurate basis for estimating the time enroute and the
corresponding fuel required.

(2)
Decrease distances 10% for each 9 Knot headwind. For
operation with tailwinds up to 10 Knot increase distances by
10% for each 2 Knot.
(3)
For operation on dry, grass runway, increase distances by
15% of the “ground roll” figure.
(4)
Consider additionals for wet grass runway, softened ground
or snow

HANDLING ON GROUND
&
MAINTENANCE
„ CAUTION:

Normally, a refill of coolant or gearbox oil between
service intervals is not necessary.
In case of low coolant or gearbox oil levels, inform the
maintenance company immediately.

▲ WARNING:

Do not start the engine in any case when filling levels
are below the corresponding minimum marking.

ENGINE OIL
Both TAE 125 engine variants are filled with 4.5 - 6 l engine oil (refer to
section 1 of this supplement for specification).
A dip stick is used to check the oil level. It is accessible by a flap on the
upper right-hand side of the engine cowling.
Notice that on warm engines 5 minutes after engine shut-off there are
80% of the entire engine oil in the oil pan and therefore visible on the oil
dipstick. On warm engines oil should be added if the oil dip stick shows
oil levels below 50%. After 30 minutes the real oil level is visible on the
dip stick.
The drain screw is located on the lower left-hand outside of the oil pan,
the oil filter is on the upper left-hand side of the housing.
The oil system has to be checked for sealing after the first 5 operating
hours (visual inspection).
Checks and changes of oil and oil filter have to be performed regularly
according to the engine Operation and Maintenance Manual. See
OM-02-01 for the TAE 125-01 engine or OM-02-02 for the TAE 125-02
engine.
The Supplement of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual has to be
considered as well. See AMM-20-01 for the TAE 125-01 engine or AMM20-02 for the TAE 125-02 engine.

Page 6-1
Issue 2
Revision -, March 12, 2007

Supplement Reims/POH Cessna (F)172 N & P

GEARBOX OIL
To ensure the necessary propeller speed, both TAE 125 engine variants
are equipped with a reduction gearbox filled with 1,0 l gearbox oil. (refer
to section 1 of this supplement for specification)
The level can be checked through a viewing glass on the lower leading
edge of the gearbox. To do so, open the flap on the left front side of the
engine cowling.
The drain screw is located at the lowest point of the gearbox. A filter is
installed upstream of the pump, as well as microfilter in the Constant
Speed Unit. Check the gearbox for sealing after the first 5 hours of
operation (visual inspection). Regular checks as well as oil and filter
changes have to be performed in accordance with the engine Operation
and Maintenance Manual. See OM-02-01 01 for the TAE 125-01 engine
or OM-02-02 for the TAE 125-02 engine.
The Supplement of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual has to be
considered as well. See AMM-20-01 for the TAE 125-01 engine or AMM20-02 for the TAE 125-02 engine.
FUEL
Both TAE 125 engine variants can be operated with kerosene fuel.
Due to the higher specific density of turbine engine fuel in comparison to
aviation gasoline (AVGAS) the permissible capacity for standard tanks
was reduced as mentioned in Section 1.
Appropriate placards are attached near the fuel filler connections.
For temperature limitations refer to Section 2 „Limitations“ and Section 4
„Normal Operation“.
It is recommended to refuel before each flight and to enter the type of fuel
into the log-book.

Page 6-2
Issue 2
Revision -, March 12, 2007

Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F)172 N & P

COOLANT
To cool the engine a liquid cooling system was installed with a
water/BASF Glysantin Protect Plus/G48 mixture at a ratio of 1:1.
A heat exchanger for cabin heating is part of the cooling system.
Check the cooling system for sealing after the first 5 hours of operation
(visual inspection).
The coolant has to be changed in accordance with the engine Operation
and Maintenance Manual. See OM-02-01 for the TAE 125-01 engine or
OM-02-02 for the TAE 125-02 engine.
The Supplement of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual has to be
considered as well. See AMM-20-01 for the TAE 125-01 engine or AMM20-02 for the TAE 125-02 engine.
‹ Note:

The ice flocculation point of the coolant is –36°C.

„ CAUTION:

The water has to satisfy the following requirements:
1. visual appearance: colorless, clear and no
deposits allowed
2. pH-value: 6.5 to 8.5
3. maximum water hardness: 2.7 mmol/l
4. maximum hydrogen carbonate concentration:
100 mg/l
5. maximum chloride concentration: 100 mg/l
6. maximum sulfate concentration: 100 mg/l

‹ Note:

The waterworks also provide information. In general,
tap water may be diluted with distilled water. Pure
distilled water may not be used to mix with BASF
Glysantin Protect Plus/G48.

■ CAUTION:

Between scheduled maintenance topping-up coolant
or gearbox oil should not be necessary.
If low coolant or low gearbox oil level is detected,
inform your service centre immediately.

▲ WARNING:

It is not allowed to start the engine with low level
coolant or gearbox oil.
