Piper Archer II Air Leak Problem by Back Seat.

Dave, I have signed up ! About the only instrument that I have not overhauled in this Archer is the VSI. It reads horribly optimistic, like, I have the only Archer ever built that climbs on the plains here at 1200 FPM. If I really try, I can make 1500 FPM :-) I have to admit that I don't know much about the operation of a VSI appertaining to an Archer :-( I can't get my head round it at the moment, but could the slight negative pressure in the cabin affect the VSI ? It shouldn't. The VSI should be vented (through a calibrated "leak") to the static air source, outside. The cabin pressure shouldn't affect it, unless you've selected the alternate static source, or there is a leak between the static source and alternate static source. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |

Thanks, I had all the hoses replaced last year, incluing all in the cockpit and out to the pitot tube. Maybe they are all ok. [I changed all the vacuum hoses as well] Roy |

[I changed all the vacuum hoses as well] Well ... one way to tell would be to select the alternate static source while flying. Assuming your alternate static source is vented to the cabin, it should show a slight climb for a time before settling back to zero. If it shows no change when selecting the alternate static source, there may be something amiss there. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |

Ahhhhhhhhhhh..... Rats!
Sorry.. Open the Alt static, THEN see if closing the airvent affects the VSI.. If it momentarily swings positive, it could indicate a neg pressure in the cabin.. Just a thought... Sorry my first was not complete.. Dave On Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:35:35 GMT, "Roy N5804F" wrote: Dave, I have signed up ! About the only instrument that I have not overhauled in this Archer is the VSI.
