Which of the following is included in engine performance monitoring?

Explanation:
Engine performance monitoring focuses on real-time indicators of how the engine is operating and staying within limits. The most informative set includes engine RPM, exhaust gas temperature (EGT), turbine inlet temperature (TIT), engine pressure ratio (EPR), fuel flow, and a torquemeter. These parameters together show how much thrust the engine is producing, how hot it’s running, and how efficiently it’s burning fuel, which are the core signals used to assess performance and detect abnormal operation. The other groups don’t fit this purpose: the first group lists flight navigation/attitude instruments, not engine performance; another group lists individual engine components or non-performance systems (like weather radar); the last group lists hydraulic and electrical parameters that aren’t direct indicators of engine performance.
