Correct. Additionally, altimeter will tend to stick with engine off.
WHAT? Engine off - no vibration - altimeter sticks. B. |

So what do they do during the IFR cert? Shake the plane around? I have no idea. As I said, I do not fly power. Is shutting down an engine (or all engines) in flight required as a part of any certification? Bartek |

If the altimeter is in poor enough shape it needs vibration to move the pointer it should have been replaced long ago. The one in the Deb is original (1959) and it still works fine. Roger (K8RI) B. |

When I purchased my glider it had a button on the stick that would run a motor with and off ballance weight on it next to the the Altimeter. It's purpose was to shake the altimeter so it would give an acurate reading. Most Power aircraft have a built in altimeter shaker called an engine. Brian CFIIG/ASEL HP16T N16VP |
