 |
|
I don't think I've ever cross posted anything to the RV-10 list from another list, but this one is too valuable to miss....
I'm going with an AF-3500 EFIS as primary attitude display, backup provided by vacuum driven gyro powered by Sigma Tek Aeon piston vacuum pump.

Tim not trying to second guess...but it seems the writer said he turned the decision over to the auto pilot? What would have happened if the AP was crossing feeding information for the GRT rather than the feed he was expecting...I would have thought that the PIC would look for a secondary back up such as his Attitude indicator, airspeed, VSI, wet compass and cross check etc as immediate actions not trust the AP and maybe go missed approach until you've sorted out the equipment or get vectors to final approach course after reporting the equipment problem to the approach controller?...maybe I don't understand what his action was?
Additionally, I would have throught the general GPS instructions to a final approach course would include selecting the type of approach...example "VOR 23L" etc., after selecting the airport identifier then selecting how one gets to 23L, vectors, ILS, VOR, GPS etc., what ever is in the system to select followed by altitude assignments on the AP if you're using this and setting in the approach/nav mode, etc.
