Opinions/Experience with PC Flight System's eGyro-3, anyone?
I'm considering trying to convince my club to switch to the eGryo-3 instead
of a differential pressure vacuum backup. However, I'm curious about a couple of things. The differential pressure mechanism is - I believe - STCed. What would we need to go through for a panel mounted eGyro-3 (assuming it isn't STCed)? A field approval, requiring an inspection? Complex? Expensive? We're in the area of the Teterboro FSDO, if that makes a difference. Also, the differential pressure mechanism powers the DG. I see that the eGyro-3 provides AI and TC backup. Does it also provide heading information? Finally, what about electrical problems? The differential pressure mechanism is immune to this, but the eGyro-3 is electrically powered. Of course, PC Flight System has a portable solution, but I'm really looking (at the moment; check again with me in a little while {8^) for a panel-mounted solution. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks... Andrew |
