You don't need vacuum for electric instruments.


Once again you're totally clueless. Your Directional Gyro is vacuum
driven. If you only needed electric instruments to fly, your primary
instruments wouldn't be pitot-static. If you have an electrical
problem, bus failure or inflight fire, you might lose all your
electrical instruments.


If you have no instruments and you're in IMC, you have a big problem.


Only if you don't know how to use your radios and know which senses to
trust.

Not when the vacuum system is broke. I just experienced it
yesterday.


Don't fly IFR until it's fixed.


The problem likely happened while he was in flight. In the real world,
you don't get to hit "ALT" and fiddle with your settings until things works.

Ah, why do I bother with you? You ask questions just to contradict
literally everybody who answers them regardless of the experience they
have or the official sources they quote.
