[Oz-mooney] DYING ARTIFICIAL HORIZON*

[Bill Owen]

Tony,

 

I had the same problem and it was found to be one of the connections on the
back leaking air. I had it fixed for about 1 hours labour. No further
problems.

G'day all,

 

The AH in MIP is getting a bit ancient and started to go round in circles
when we started the aircraft the other day. That wouldn't normally be too
much of a problem, but Poor Old Frank was flying and he tried to keep the
aeroplane straight and level, which involved some very rapid rolls. Just
kidding - I took control.

 

Anyway, the AH is clearly on the way out, though it did settle down after a
while. We'll get it looked at and, if possible, repaired, but if we need to
replace it, has anyone got any suggestions? We'd also like to instal a
back-up vac pump. All advice welcome.

 

Cheers,

 

Tony
