Windmilling Prop & Vacuum Pump
Ok, a curious question just popped in my mind. Say that one was flying
IFR in a piston single, maybe a 172 or 182. While enroute, either in actual or above a cloud layer, the engine fails. Will the windmilling prop keep the vacuum pump going enough to make the AI and DG usuable during descent through the clouds, or will the gyros keep spinning fast enough long enough to make the vacuum pump irrelevant?
