Augh -- I KNEW I shouldn't have said anything like that out loud! My DG
just went belly-up on my flight to Pella yesterday.

It's totally, 100% dead -- no movement or gyro spinning up at all. And I
just replaced the AI last month.

But the vacuum is still reading a good strong "5", for whatever that's
worth.

I wonder if it's spewing junk into your gyros -- did you change the
central air filter (or whatever it's called) when you installed the
new AI?


All the best,

Dunno -- I would assume that my A&P would know to check that, but I'm sure
going to be asking him now... (He just called me to say that all the lines
and fitting are tight, eliminating the cheap and easy problems...)

It's always something with airplanes, isn't it?
