Real bad time to be out of practice hand-flying without and autopilot to back you up. What general aviation AP uses the AI (attitude indicator)? I have experience with the Bendix/King KAP-140 and the S-TEC 60-2 and neither rely on the AI for input. Are there some that do? If the aircraft loses suction, the wing leveler feature of the above APs, which use the electric turn coordinator, would probably make partial panel flying safer. -- Peter R. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =---
