Default backup for vacuum pump/attitude indicator failure

Also be sure you understand the operating limitations - altitudes and
power settings where it works and doesn't.


I have to say: I don't like this system. One time when you want happy
gyros is when low and busy...like on a missed approach. But the
full-throttle of the missed means that the gyros are spinning down.

Plus, of course, there's the fact that it does nothing for an AI or
plumbing failure.
