Hi:



Thank you all for very informed responses.  I spoke to TruTrak today and got

a better understanding of  "how" the ADI works internally.  Your comments

provide a lot of insight into its practical use.



A couple of the responses brought up the loss of the Airspeed Indicator.

That raised some more questions for me that those with the ADI and the other

instrument pilots might be able to help with.  They still relate to the ADI

in a general sense.



Given, the following three instrument combinations:



 Magnetic Compass and Altimeter and ONE of the following:

        A.  Turn Coordinator

        B.  Attitude Indicator

        C.  Attitude Direction Indicator



1. Which combination(s), if any, would allow you to maintain control in IMC?



2.  If you accept the fact that the ADI is not a true pitch instrument would

the ADI provide better control reference than the Attitude Indicator because

of its integral VSI function.



Thanks



Mark

I voted to get an AFS3500 system but I am backing it up with:

1. Vertical card compass mounted on cabin to support bracket

2. B/U Steam air speed

3. B/U Steam altimeter

4. B/U Tru-Trak ADI

I would have preferred the Mid-continent - but cannot justify the cost.



Tru-Trak seems to have about 90% of the B/U market. It is almost rare to see a panel being built without it.
